Bourbon isn’t just for sipping — it’s for the butterscotch, the caramel, the slow-cooked apple butter, and the mint julep, whether you make it the traditional way with muddled sugar and fresh mint or with a simple syrup when you’re pouring for a crowd.
These recipes follow bourbon through the full year: spring juleps for Derby, a blackberry bourbon smash when summer berries are at their peak, peach crumble bars and apple butter as fall sets in, and a bourbon caramel popcorn or eggnog crème brûlée when the holidays arrive.
One ingredient, every season.
