Recipes with whisky
That bottle of whisky at the back of your drinks cabinet? It’s good for so much more than just a wee dram over ice. Whisky’s rich, complex flavours make it a great ingredient in many dishes including cakes and bakes, sauces, savoury dishes and of course, cocktails.
Our recipes with whisky include ideas for delicious food gifts, like whisky marmalade, homemade liqueurs and heavenly salted caramel and whisky sauce.
