Great news! This mouth watering recipe is about to be featured in a cool new cookbook titled Best of the Best from America’s Distilleries, so we just had to share it with you!

Caution: Do not lick your screen!

Ingredients:

2 cups high quality Maple Syrup

1 stick (1/2 cup) Unsalted Butter

1 tsp Black Walnut SweetShine

1 tsp Baking Powder

2 cups Flour

1 Egg

1 Whole pound bacon, cooked and crumbled

Black Walnut Bourbon Glaze Ingredients:

1 tbsp Black Walnut SweetShine

1 tsp bourbon

1 c. powdered sugar

Directions:

Heat maple syrup on medium high and bring to a boil for 12-14 minutes, or until it is slightly reduced. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once the syrup has cooled but is still warm, add butter and stir until it melts and dissolves.
Mix in remaining ingredients, including the bacon, adding flour last, in small batches to combine.
Spread the mixture evenly onto a medium sized sheet pan lined with parchment, and chill in the fridge for an hour.
Once chilled, bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes, or until slightly golden. Cool.
While cooling, make Black Walnut Bourbon Glaze by adding 1 tbsp Black Walnut SweetShine and 1 tsp bourbon to 1 cup powdered sugar and mix well.
Once the bars are cool, drizzle with the glaze and serve.

March 30, 2016 Sarah Murphy

Key Lime Pie Daiquiri

We’re in the mood to drink our dessert. How does a Key Lime Pie Daiquiri sound? Delicious? We thought so, too.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Equal parts:

Cremma Lemma SweetShine

spiced rum

fresh limeade

What’s a “part”? It can be an ounce, a cup, or whatever you decide, as long as all ingredients are in equal parts.

Pour Cremma Lemma over ice. Be sure to use a shaker or jar with a lid.

Add spiced rum.

Add limeade.

Cover.

Shake vigorously until frothy.

Dip the rim of a chilled glass into simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, dissolved).

Dip the coated rim in graham cracker crumbs.

Use a strainer or the lid of your jar to strain the cocktail into your prepared glass.

Like so.

Add a slice of lime and whipped cream for garnish, if desired.
