Ingredients
- 6 ounces 4 shots Bourbon
- 1/2 TB unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 4 TB light brown sugar
- 4 TB water
- granulated sugar for rim of glass / caramel corn for garnish
Instructions
- Combine butter, vanilla, sugar & water in a small sauce pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and let it continue to simmer for 5 - 8 minutes, until sugar has completely dissolved and syrup has thickened just slightly.
- Pour 3 ounces (2 shots) of bourbon in a glass and add syrup to taste. Stir to combine. Garnish if desired.
- Suggestion: start with 1 tablespoon of syrup, you can always add more to taste.
Notes
A word on ice: I use a muffin tin to make large ice cubes for my drinks. They are the perfect size for the glasses I have and they don't water down the drinks as quickly as smaller cubes.
Because there is a smidge of butter in the syrup- if you add ice, the drink will get a bit cloudy. There's nothing wrong with your drink, it's just the butter getting cold. Added Bonus:
I had some simple syrup left over and I also had leftover ham from Easter... Throw a splash of bourbon into the syrup, and glaze the ham with that magical concoction!
You're Welcome.
