A silk-smooth vodka martini washed with cocoa butter.

Fat-washing works because alcohol pulls flavor compounds out of fat that water never could — melted cocoa butter gets stirred into the vodka, then the whole batch goes into the freezer so the solid fat separates back out, leaving behind only the aroma and a noticeably rounder, silkier texture in the spirit.
