This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

A yummy and super fast fruit dessert. You can use other liquors too ... Grand Marnier for one. I add a dollop of sweet whipped cream atop each serving and its really tasty.
