  • 1 sweetpotato peeled and cubed
  • 1 C. brown sugar
  • 1 C. water
  • ½ C. champagne vinegar
  • ½ C. Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 rosemary sprig

     Instructions for creating Brown Butter Washed Rye and Sweetpotato Shrub are listed below.

 Brown Butter Washed Rye:

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat stirring occasionally until the solids turn golden-brown. Let cool.
    1 stick butter
  • In a bowl, whisk the rye and brown butter together. Freeze overnight. 
    1 bottle Rye Whiskey
  • The next day, line a bowl with cheesecloth and pour in the washed rye.
  • You want to trap all the solid fats from the butter, but the golden bits are ok. Store in a container of your choice.

Sweetpotato Shrub

  • In a medium saucepan, combine brown butter and water
  • Heat over low heat to create simple syrup (1:1)
  • Add sweetpotato and rosemary sprig, let simmer.
  • Once it starts to bubble, add vinegar and simmer again.
  • Once the liquid has slightly reduced, discard the sweetpotato and rosemary. Let cool.
  • You are now ready to mix your cocktail & enjoy!
