11 Boozy Recipes Starring Your Leftover St. Paddy's Day Whiskey
Whiskey isn’t just for drinking anymore. Okay, it’s mostly for drinking — but let’s face it: by the time Saint Patrick’s Day winds down, we’re usually exhausted, hungover, and burnt out on bourbon. Rather than tossing that leftover Jack Daniel’s, we’ll be putting the booze to good use this year with our knockout whiskey recipes. From pudding to barbecue, these dishes are a welcome break from the bottle…just don’t forget to save a sip for the chef. Sláinte!
