Notes
- Cooking Tips • Use quality bourbon. The flavor of the bourbon is prominent, so choose one you enjoy drinking. • Make ahead. Bourbon balls taste even better after sitting for a day or two, allowing the flavors to meld. • Store properly. Keep bourbon balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their texture and flavor.
