La Vie du Canard

For the foie-washed bourbon: Melt the rendered foie fat in a skillet over medium heat.

Pour the bourbon into a large non-reactive measuring cup.

Add hot foie to the bourbon and stir. Allow to cool and steep for 6-8 hours.

Place the bourbon in the freezer for 8 hours. Strain the fat off the bourbon by pouring it through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Line the sieve with a coffee filter and strain a second time.

For the cocktail: Fill a mixing glass with ice.

Add foie-washed bourbon, Cynar, Cocchi Americano, and bitters. Stir. Strain into an un-iced rocks glass. Rub rim of glass with orange twist, then add twist to drink.
