whiskey sauce

Spirited gravy topping

Whiskey sauce is a sweet, boozy sauce made by cooking butter, sugar, and cream with bourbon or other whiskey.

It's most commonly poured warm over bread pudding and other desserts: The bread pudding came swimming in whiskey sauce.

The alcohol mostly cooks off, leaving the whiskey's caramel and vanilla notes.
