Here is an awesome bourbon of the month club.

But can you cook with bourbon? Sure you can! There are tons of bourbon recipes that can really impress your southern relatives and not make you spend too long behind a stove and oven. The first thing you want to do is find a good bourbon glaze recipe. The reason why I say this should be the first thing you do is because you can put a glaze on so many things that you already know you enjoy. Do a couple of taste tests with a few bourbon glazes and find which one tastes the best to you. Once you find which glaze tastes the best, you can start choosing which foods to glaze in the bourbon. A few good suggestions are chicken drumsticks, pork tenderloin, and frankfurters. Make sure you follow directions very carefully to properly glaze and cook the dishes. Finding the right glaze could make choosing which appetizers or main course you would like to serve much easier. What does gq think of good eating?

I already told you that bourbon is a very patriotic spirit but do you know what else is a patriotic food to America? Apple pie. So why not bourbon apple pie? There are a ton of bourbon apple pie recipes on the internet that you can find, but try and find one that has some raisins and nuts in it. It makes for a delicious combination and will surely be a hit dessert.

They can dip their chicken fingers and fries in a homemade bourbon barbecue sauce. This can be a hit with the kids and the adults, it’s great to make when you’re serving your guests food from the barbecue. BBQ tips from the pros.
