This recipe yields about 8 servings, perfect for sharing (or not!). What makes this syrup truly special is the harmonious blend of brown sugar, superfine sugar, and bourbon. The brown sugar lends a rich, caramel-like note, while the superfine sugar ensures a smooth, silky texture. And, of course, the bourbon adds a complex layer of flavor, with subtle hints of vanilla, oak, and spice. While we used Maker's Mark for testing, feel free to experiment with your preferred brand to find the perfect balance for your taste buds.
