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 classic vinaigrette for a classy salad. Red wine vinegar, oil, and Dijon mustard give this dressing a fresh tasting zing that you just can't get with store-bought.

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
1 1/2 cup corn or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt and pepper, to taste
Combine the vinegar and garlic in a bowl. Let sit for 20 minutes for the flavors to infuse.
Remove the garlic from the vinegar. Whisk in the oil and mustard until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Whisk well before serving.

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.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

This dressing is delicious. I didn't have Dijon mustard so I used the only thing I had, which was a spicy brown mustard; it was excellent. Highly recommended.

this vinaigrette dressing is so easy and will get raves. it's not as heavy as a balsamic, since you use red wine vinegar. I use 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp ground pepper. And I simply put all the ingredients into the salad dressing jar and shake - easy!
