Notes
Feel free to experiment with this recipe! You might try using different types of whiskey for varied flavors. Some folks prefer bourbon, while I enjoy a smoky scotch with this mix.
If looking for a less sweet option, reduce the vanilla extract slightly. Share your version and let me know your thoughts. 😊 Reach out with your own tips and tweaks in the comments!
