My grandpa always says, “Bourbon goes with everything.” I am finding lately that just the right kick of the powerful concoction does make all the difference in certain recipes. The Red Stag Spiced flavor expression by Jim Beam is perfect for anyone who hasn’t considered bourbon before.
Our team was really impressed with the smooth natural flavors and can’t wait to try some more exciting recipes this fall. Sometimes the uncharted path delivers the greatest rewards. If you believe in ending every meal on a sweet note, like me, then this twist on a traditional bread pudding is sure to do the trick. Here’s a great recipe we’ve lighten up some to keep you in your skinny jeans.
