Best Whiskey-Infused Foods You Need to Try

The world of whiskey extends far beyond just sipping it neat, because of its complex flavors, whiskey can be infused into a wide array of foods, creating a culinary experience that’s nothing short of extraordinary.

Whiskey pairs exceptionally well with sweet treats and sauces, putting a grown-up spin on snacks and desserts and adding a punch of smoky, spicy goodness to sauces and barbecued meals.

So today, let’s tuck into a few of our favorites. Whether your palate leans savory or sweet, there are plenty of delectable options for everyone.

Adding Stranahan’s Whiskey to Your Favorite Recipes

If you love to cook, we’d bet you’re always experimenting, looking for new ways to wake up your taste buds and wow your guests with your kitchen prowess.

Whiskey lovers already know the deep, rich, and distinctive allure of a great American Single Malt on its own. Still, added to recipes, it might become the secret ingredient that elevates your status to master chef.

Every chef knows you must use the very best ingredients to achieve a top-notch result. Stranahan’s fits the bill perfectly, providing the balance of richness, sweetness, and spice every time.

Here are a few ideas:

  • In dessert recipes that call for vanilla, substitute Stranahan’s Original Single Malt Whiskey to add a sophisticated punch of flavor that your sweet tooth won’t soon forget.
  • Soak dried fruit and nuts for stuffing or fruit cake in Stranahan’s Sherry Cask to elevate the richness and bring out the sweetness of the ingredients.
  • Make a whiskey compound butter with Stranahan’s Blue Peak to melt on your best steaks for a rich sizzle worthy of the best steakhouses in the country.

Ready-to-Enjoy Whiskey-Infused Treats

We also realize that not everyone loves spending time in the kitchen, so fear not! Stranahan’s has created a line of whiskey-infused treats, snacks, ingredients, and sauces you can enjoy anytime.

Whiskey BBQ Sauce

Our Wild Buff Colorado Style BBQ Sauce is the best way to finish your low-and-slow ribs, chicken, burgers, or homemade baked beans. You can use it as a dip, add it to mac and cheese, or substitute it anywhere you would typically use ketchup to pump up the “wow” factor. Subtle hints of cinnamon, spice, and smoke finish with a robust hickory note, leveling up your cookouts, picnics, and game-day spreads with a unique sweet-savory flavor that will keep them coming back for more.

Barrel Aged Honey

There’s nothing quite like artisanal honey, but when you add whiskey, it only gets better. Our collaboration with Boulder-based Bjorn’s Colorado Honey yielded a perennial favorite that quite literally makes everything taste better! Spread it on your toast, add it to your tea or coffee, use it to accompany rich, pungent cheeses and charcuterie, or add it to your best recipes. One taste, and we guarantee our barrel-aged honey will become a staple in your pantry. It also makes an excellent addition to your holiday gift baskets.
