Brown Butter-Washed Banana Rum

Ingredients

750 ml George Ocean White Rum
8 oz unsalted butter
3 ripe bananas


Directions

Brown the butter. Add the bananas and mash them into the hot butter, off the heat. Pour the mixture into a glass bowl, and add the rum. Stir, and let sit for 2 days covered. Then strain the rum and refrigerate. When the butter solidifies at the top, scoop it out and strain it again through a coffee filter to remove any remaining particles.


Notes

What not to do—put the rum that’s draining through a coffee filter in front of paper towels, so when you reach for a paper towel, you knock over 1/3 of your rum. Aside from that…WOW. This rum can practically be sipped neat, it’s that good. It goes from clear to clear dark golden yellow.
