All About The Sauce

The honey bourbon sauce is made with bourbon, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard and garlic powder. This sauce can be made a day ahead of time and refrigerated until using. Bourbon has notes of oak, vanilla, caramel and molasses that stand out in the sauce without tasting boozy. Even if you don’t like bourbon, a bourbon sauce is worth trying. The sweet notes of bourbon and honey pair well with umami soy sauce, tangy Dijon mustard and herby garlic powder. This sauce would also be great on grilled shrimp.
