Bourbon-Spiked Caramel Is The Best Way To Booze Up Ice Cream

Many stores sell bourbon caramel these days, especially in the fall and winter seasons, since the flavor pairing suits many warm and cozy dishes served during that time of year. But if you cannot find it at your local grocery, you can easily make the sauce yourself. Start with your favorite traditional caramel sauce recipe. When the caramel has finished coming together, add ina few tablespoons of your bourbon of choice. By adding it in at the end of the process, the sauce will likely retain some amount of alcohol rather than cooking off entirely.

Once your bourbon caramel is finished, be sure to store the sauce correctly to ensure it retains its quality for as long as possible. For best results, keep your caramel sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. There, it will last for up to three weeks before it begins to decline in quality. When you are ready to use some of the caramel to top your ice cream, you can easily soften it by popping it in the microwave for just a few seconds.
