Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt sugar slowly until brown, being careful not to burn it.
- Carefully add water and Everclear; cool and bottle.
- Drink in moderation.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the perfect caramelization of the sugar, melt it over low heat to prevent burning. If you don't have Everclear, you can substitute with a high-proof vodka for a similar effect. Always cool the mixture completely before bottling to avoid condensation. For a twist, consider infusing the whiskey with spices or herbs.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Wedding Whiskey in chilled glasses over ice for a refreshing drink. It pairs beautifully with appetizers like Cole Slaw or savory dishes such as Round Steaks Smothered In Onions. You can also use it as a base for cocktails or enjoy it neat for a more robust experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store the Wedding Whiskey in a cool, dark place to maintain its flavor. Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation. It can be kept for several months, but for the best taste, consume it within three months. No need to reheat, as this drink is best served chilled or at room temperature.
