Homemade DIY Bourbon Cream Recipe

The simplest Bourbon cream recipe only requires a few ingredients. At the heart of every Bourbon cream recipe, is, of course, your favorite Bourbon and heavy cream. 

You will see heavy cream in stores as “heavy whipping cream,” “whipping cream,” and “heavy cream.”

They’re basically all the same, and, after adding a sweet ingredient to the cream and Bourbon like pure vanilla extract or chocolate liqueur, you’ll have a delicious beverage that you can add to hot coffee, pour over vanilla ice cream, drink straight out of a rocks glass, or even use as a whipped topping on your favorite dessert.  

Storing Your Homemade DIY Bourbon Cream Delight

Storing your delicious Bourbon cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator is absolutely imperative to keeping it fresh. Weck jars come highly recommended, as do 750 ml liquor bottles. 

Some other airtight jars to store your DIY Bourbon cream:

• Otis Swing Top Glass Bottles
• Amber Colored Bottles
