If you love bourbon, you’ll probably want to try as many ways to drink it as possible. Whether that means drinking a new cocktail like the Chai Spice Old Fashioned or simply trying a new glass, there’s always a creative way to innovate your bourbon drinking experience. If you haven’t tried it before, a quick and easy trick we recommend is using a milk frother to enhance the flavor and aroma of this popular liquor.
A milk frother is a handy little kitchen device that is primarily used to aerate milk to give it the thick, frothy texture needed for a variety of coffee and tea drinks. However, there are no restrictions on the type of liquid it can aerate, including bourbon. It’s no secret that all whiskeys should be exposed to air or given time to breathe before enjoying them so that the flavors and aroma can develop. However, this takes time, and this is where a milk frother comes to the rescue. Using the power of the bourbon attachment, the spirit is quickly aerated, improving its quality almost instantly.
To quickly improve your drinking experience with a milk frother, simply pour the bourbon of your choice into a glass of water, insert the milk frother and turn it on for 30 seconds to a minute. This should be enough time to detect a difference, but this method of quickly aerating spirits is relatively new and may not be accurate. So feel free to experiment with different foaming agents over time to see which technique works best for you.
Milk frothers aren’t the only tools that can inflate quickly. If you don’t have the right equipment, you can try placing the bourbon in a blender for the same amount of time to achieve the same effect. If these super-fast methods confuse you, you can still aerate bourbon at a reasonable rate using more traditional tools like a wine aerator or a classic decanter.
