  • Caramel with a Hint of Salt

    Posted by liqrlkr on November 30, 2024 at 9:31 pm

    Hi y’all haven’t posted in a while but wondered if anyone has tried to make a salted caramel shine. I had a sip of some store bought and it was pretty awsome. Didn’t know if ya all were trying to make something like this. Thanks.

    I bet dissolving some Werther’s Originals in high proof neutral and adding a bit of saline solution would be a good place to start.

    That sounds like a good start!

    A guy I work with uses coffee flavoring syrups to flavor his shine. Not my jam, but he seems to like it.

    Some of those syrups have a noticeable harsh sugar bite that hides well behind coffee, but really is noticable in steamed milk or on ice cream.You may want to check it out in a small sample to start.. Caramel is really not that hard to make – if you can distill you probably can make it…. get a better product and add a good culinary salt and everyone will probably be able to taste the quality vs syrup. There are a few caramel apple whiskies available…. seems like a terrible thing to do to a whisky.
