"Everyone raves about #Friyay #HappyHour but why wait till 5PM when you can have a Benton’s Old Fashioned with breakfast to start your day? ☕️?

Curiosity got the best of me once again as I recently experimented with fat washing spirits. Sounds horrible, I know. It’s not as bad as you think. I bacon fat washed some bourbon so I could recreate the cocktail that introduced fat washing to the masses – created by former PDT bartender Don Lee. Good as it was, I had to give the recipe a little twist by adding in some scotch whiskey for a little smoke to compliment the sweet and savory. Winner!

BENTON’S [*SMOKEY] OLD FASHIONED
?1 oz bacon fat washed @bulleit bourbon
?1 oz @thefamousgrouseusa scotch whiskey
?1/4 oz real maple syrup grade A or B
?2 dashes @angosturahouse bitters

Prepare like a normal Old Fashioned with a big #clearice rock. Edible garnish optional but always appreciated. Use to wash down a healthy dose of pancakes or waffles. Proceed with Friyay as normal.?
