Hey Guys and Gals! Dates give bourbon a deep caramel sweetness with no sugar added.
Ingredients
3 cups bourbon
1 cup Medjool dates, about 10
1 cinnamon stick (optional)
Directions
1. Pit the dates and cut them in half.
2. Place the dates and cinnamon in a jar and cover with the bourbon. Seal and shake.
3. Steep one week in a cool, dark place, shaking every day or two.
4. Strain through moistened cheesecloth, gently wringing it. Strain again through a coffee strainer.
5. Makes a great Old Fashioned. The dates are good over ice cream.
