How to Make Vanilla Ice Cream With Maker's Mark Bourbon

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and bourbon. Let cool completely.
  3. Once cooled, stir in the egg yolks one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Churn the chilled custard base in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-30 minutes.
  6. Once churned, transfer the frozen custard to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to harden further.
  7. Before serving, let the frozen custard sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to slightly soften. Top with your favorite add-ins, such as toasted pecans, fresh cherries, candied ginger, or orange zest, and enjoy!
