  • 1/3 c. Fireball whiskey
  • 1/8 tsp. salt

Instructions

  • Whisk together 1 c. sugar and the 1/4 c. water in a medium saucepan.
  • Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes, or until the sugar melts and is no longer granular.
  • Cook an additional 8-10 minutes, without stirring, until the mixture is medium amber in color.
  • Remove from heat, cool for 1 minute, and then stir in heavy cream, butter, Fireball whiskey, salt, and nutmeg, whisking til smooth.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1/2 c. sugar.
