Double the pleasure of bourbon by using it in the cake batter as well as in the coffee-flavored syrup you baste the cake with during baking. The clean, smooth sweetness of bourbon pairs mellows out the slight bitterness of the cocoa and bittersweet chocolate.

Add just a splash of bourbon and some pineapple juice to jarred chutney for a tangy-sweet marinade for flank steak. Because the steak is thin, you only have to marinate for about 15 minutes to get maximum flavor. Be sure to boil the remaining marinade and serve it with the steak so you don’t miss any of the fruity bourbon goodness.
