The Man’s Complete Breakfast

A quick read of any of my pieces here at the Art of Manliness, and you will soon discover that I’m the kind of guy who likes to have his whiskey, and drink it too! Being a Tennessean, I’m pretty much a fan of anything my ole Uncle Jack concocts just down the road in Lynchburg. So upon hearing about their newest variety – Winter Jack – a blend of classic Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey and a punch of apple cider liqueur – I was instantly smitten and eager to try some out not only in a mug, but in a frying pan.

They key to cooking with any spirit is to allow the spirit to compliment the dish – not overpower. Winter Jack has a lower alcohol content than traditional Jack Daniel’s Whiskey, and because it’s melded with apple cider liqueur, it’s actually quite a nice ingredient for cooking. Beyond the breakfast dishes below (which don’t have to be confined to the morning; they make for a great breakfast-for-dinner, too!), I can see this spirit serving as a great compliment when poured warm over vanilla ice cream, or in an apple pie, fruit parfait, or sugar glaze. In other words, it ain’t just for drinking.
