Behind The Cocktail: Box Office Old Fashioned

The Box Office Old Fashioned is inspired by the natural flavours found in bourbon whiskey. Angel’s Envy, our bourbon of choice, is made from corn, which lends a sweet, grainy note to the spirit. This sweetness pairs beautifully with the slightly browned butter, creating a soft, grainy foundation that is both comforting and indulgent.

Creating the Box Office Old Fashioned involves a meticulous process that brings out the best in each ingredient. Here’s how we do it:

Fat-Washing the Bourbon:
We start by taking butter and melting it in a pot, allowing it to cook until it just starts to brown. This browning process adds a rich, nutty flavour to the butter.
We then take a vacuum pack bag and strain the browned butter through it, effectively fat-washing the bourbon with popcorn and butter. This step infuses the bourbon with a distinct, buttery flavour that sets our cocktail apart.

Freezing and Skimming:
The fat-washed bourbon is then placed in the freezer. As the mixture cools, the fat solidifies on the surface.
We carefully remove the excess fat, leaving behind a dense and rich bourbon that has been beautifully infused with the flavours of popcorn and butter.

Balancing the Cocktail:
To cut through the richness of the butter, we blend sherry wine with demerara sugar. This combination of sweet and acidic notes perfectly balances the cocktail, creating a harmonious blend that is both indulgent and refreshing.


The Box Office Old Fashioned is finished with a few dashes of aromatic bitters, adding complexity and depth to the drink. The result is a dense and rich cocktail, yet perfectly balanced, with the sweetness of the bourbon and sherry wine cutting through the buttery notes for a truly unique drinking experience.
