Debuting in the U.S. June 1, with international availability this fall
ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fee Brothers, the fifth‑generation, family‑owned flavor house, is launching a first‑of‑its‑kind line of water‑soluble Fat Washes that make savory cocktails faster, more consistent, and easier for bars to execute. The line debuts in three flavors—bacon, roasted duck, and browned butter—giving bartenders a simple, shelf‑stable way to add depth, aroma, and velvety mouthfeel without the traditional fat‑washing process.
"Our love of savory cocktails had us fat washing at home," said Jon Spacher, president and CEO of Fee Brothers. "Once we cracked a water-soluble version with the same flavor and mouthfeel, sharing it was an easy call."
Fat washing has long been used to add richness and complexity to cocktails, but the method requires hours or days of infusion, freezer space, straining, and product loss. Fee Brothers Fat Wash removes those barriers while preserving the flavor and texture bartenders expect. The water‑soluble line integrates seamlessly into cocktails without oiliness or separation. A few dashes add weight and roundness, delivering a luxurious mouthfeel.
As savory cocktails continue to grow in popularity, bars are looking for ways to offer these flavors without slowing service or increasing labor. Fee Brothers developed Fat Wash to help operators introduce savory cocktails in high‑volume environments while maintaining consistency across shifts and locations.
"An absolute game changer," said Matt Green, founder and operator of Aqua Vitae. "It delivers pure efficiency with zero mess."
Operational efficiency was a core focus during development. This innovation helps reduce ingredient and preparation costs while providing an opportunity to increase margins by eliminating the need to fat wash an entire bottle of spirits. By eliminating labor‑heavy prep, Fee Brothers Fat Wash helps operators protect margins and introduce savory cocktails more reliably. It gives bars a way to elevate the guest experience without adding back‑of‑house strain.
All three flavors will be available in 5‑oz dash cap bottles. The line is gluten‑free and formulated for flavor stability. When stored properly, Fat Wash has a recommended shelf life of three years from the date of manufacture.
The U.S. debut is June 1, with broader availability through distributors and select online retailers to follow. The European Union launch will take place in October at Bar Convent Berlin, where Fee Brothers anticipates strong interest from craft cocktail bars and high‑volume venues.

Fee Brothers Launches Water-Soluble Fat Wash, Unlocking Savory Cocktails at Scale
HONG KONG, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Co-organised by Apex Education and Legacy Sports Exchange, 'Legacy Football Summer Camp 2026' – Hong Kong featuring former Manchester United and France's forward Louis Saha as a special guest took place on the 22nd and 23rd July in Hong Kong. More than 300 children and teenagers competed for excellence and participated in the 'Football Masterclass' personally hosted by Saha, experiencing personal growth lessons.
World-class master inspires children to broaden their horizons
'Legacy Football Summer Camp 2026' – Hong Kong kicked off at GO PARK Sai Sha. At the opening ceremony, Saha shared his passion for football and for combining football, technology, and youth development. The football legend encouraged youngsters to be honest in expressing themselves, believe in their dreams and work hard towards them. Upskilling through repetition is a natural process. "Listen to your parents. You don't have to apply it every time, but listening to advice is a way to improve yourself.'
Saha represented France at the 2006 World Cup, helping Manchester United win two Premier League titles and was also a member of the Champions League-winning team. He has played for clubs such as Manchester United, Fulham, Everton, and Tottenham Hotspur, playing as a forward. After retiring, he successfully transitioned to entrepreneurship and founded the technology platform AxisStars.
Clement Po, CEO of Legacy Sports Exchange, the event organiser, stated, "Legacy Summer Camp 2026" is not just a sports training and competitive activity, but also a life lesson on the child's journey of growth. "We are honoured to have invited the highly renowned Saha to participate, hoping to inspire young people to pursue their dreams, strive to improve themselves, and build resilience and skills through sports training and competitions that can be applied in life and learning. "
Creating a youth development platform outside elite system
"We want more young people to understand that the world does not belong only to the most gifted. Even if your skills aren't outstanding at this stage, if you're willing to work hard, you still deserve the chance to represent your city, step out of Hong Kong, and challenge the world", Ivan Wong, Strategic Director of Legacy Sport Exchange, remarked.
The company, co-founded by Clement and Ivan, who are 30-year-old friends and both sports lovers, works on a mission to create more opportunities outside the elite sports system for the younger generation to partake in international sports and multicultural exchange. Hong Kong is the first stop of the Legacy Summer Camp touring in Guangzhou (24th -28th July) and Wuhan (27th -31st July). The goal of the venture is to create a youth four-way tournament in Asia, and in the long term, to develop Hong Kong-based mega international sports events.
Giving remarks at the closing ceremony, Richie Chang, the Managing Director of Apex Education, said watching all the participating football players had reminded him of his childhood and the passion he had for football. "That passion to what we hope to inspire through Apex, helping every child discover what they love, while making education and learning an enjoyable journey.
The two-day summer camp in Hong Kong features the "Legacy Summer 7s Cup 2026," where 22 teams from local schools and clubs competed in the U10, U12, and U14 divisions in front of the world class athlete. The participating teams included the Min Kiu Primary School's football team, of which some members are sons of several Hong Kong Premier League players. Johnny So Chun-lam, who trained with the youth team of Spanish Serie A Club Real Betis, formed the Beauty Pool Football Club U14 team with fellow players.
The champions of the U10, U12 and U14 divisions are SFL All Back, Mastery and Vertex. Each team received a prize of HK$10,000.
Football-loving families enjoyed the Master Class
Saha hosted a Football Master Class for children aged below 13 at Malvern International College, Tai Po on 23 July. Following a sharing session, he led participants to practice drills and have a friendship match. Among the participants is Yeung Ho-yi from Ying Fa Football Club.
New Castle fans Mr Chan and Mrs Chan brought their two sons to the Football Master Class, saying that it's a rare opportunity to learn from world-class athletes. Isak, 10 years old, said he gained a lot from the activity - learning how to better control the football and use the right part of feet to hit a goal. Mr Chan said sports is an activity that teaches children about failure and resilience against different challenges.
