Armed with a mini can of Caramel Popcorn from @yvonnechanofficial + stumbled on a buttered popcorn rum recipe – it was inevitable that I make one for myself! I learnt a new technique called ‘fatwashing’ to infuse flavour from fat into alcohol.

I also had some leftover soy sauce ganache (so good when paired with chocolate cake) which I decided to use to hold my popcorn on the rim 😊 Also wanna give a shout-out to the amazing @wanderwaves_ for this gorgeous handmade jesmonite trinket tray with gold flakes that I’m using as a coaster 😉

Recipe adapted from @australianbartender

5. Place jar in the freezer for another 2 hours until butter solidifies
