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.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

This cake was amazing...everyone loved it and wanted seconds! I used Creme de menthe as stated and it was just the right amount of mint. I didn't add the cherries, but we definetely didn't miss them. Instead of chocolate flakes on the top we crumbled up some Thin Mints. I will definetely make this cake again.
