Bourbon: Beyond the Highball Glass

Bourbon is not just for sipping. Its smooth, rich flavor can add a whole new dimension to recipes both savory and sweet.

For many folks, bourbon balls are a holiday tradition, but they’re really perfect just about any time of year. Because the bourbon flavor mellows with time, it’s best to make these easy treats ahead. Who knew that a combination of vanilla wafers, cocoa, powdered sugar, and a little bourbon could be so irresistible?
