Bourbon Caramel Drizzle

Make-Ahead Friendly

Ingredients 1 cup granulated sugar 6 tbsp unsalted butter (room temp, cut into pieces) ½ cup heavy cream (room temp or slightly warm) 2–3 tbsp bourbon (adjust to taste) ½ tsp salt (or more for a salted caramel vibe) 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, but nice)

Instructions 1. Melt the sugar In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar. Stir constantly as it melts—first clumpy, then smooth and amber-colored. Don’t walk away—this stage moves fast.

For Transport Pour into a glass jar or heat-safe container with a lid. It will thicken as it cools—this is exactly what you want. To Serve Reheat gently: Microwave in 10–15 second bursts, stirring between OR place jar in a bowl of hot water Stir well before serving—it should be smooth and glossy. Tips for Best Flavor Start with 2 tbsp bourbon, taste, then add more if you want it bolder. If it gets too thick after reheating, stir in a splash of warm cream. Bonus upgrade idea Right before serving, you can add: a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top of the drizzle or a splash more bourbon for aroma
