I tried this recipe and honestly, it was kinda too sweet for my taste. I don’t know if I would make it again.
Wow, this sauce is so good! The whiskey really gives it a kick. I used it on my steak and it was amazing.
Really? I thought it would taste too strong with the whiskey. How much whiskey did you add? I might try it if it’s not overpowering.
I agree! The whiskey really enhances the flavor. I’ve also tried it on grilled chicken, and it was delicious! 👍
Whiskey for a sauce? Is that even safe for kids? I don’t get why you’d cook with alcohol like this. Just stick to ketchup, it’s better.
