I made this brown butter-washed bourbon for another post, but I still had almost a whole bottle left. I saw @drinkingwithnolan made a paper plane with a bottle of brown butter-washed bourbon he made, and I knew I’d be making one! It’s one of my favorite cocktails and I’m having a moment with bourbon over here. Yeah, I said it, I’m going to be a bourbon girly 😂! Cheers y’all!!

Hi there! I've been a bartender at the same restaurant for over 10 years. My favorite spirits to work with are rum (love a good tiki drink!), gin and amaros. I love to garden and I often use the herbs and produce I grow to make syrups and infusions. Cheers y'all! ...

Editor's Note

Brown butter-washed bourbon adds a savory, toasted depth to the classic Paper Plane. The rich mouthfeel elevates the citrus and herbal notes of the original.
