TIP OF THE DAY: How To Substitute Alcohol When Cooking
|
This week, one of our interns was heading home to bake a holiday cake. It called for a tablespoon of whiskey, but she didn’t have any. She did, however, have Cognac. We told her to use the Cognac instead. Which brings us to today’s tip: If your recipe calls for a spirit you don’t have, you can substitute one that you do have. Just try to keep it in the same “family.” |

Along the same lines, you can substitute red and white wines. If you don’t have any wine, use sherry. And if you have a situation we haven’t mentioned, use your judgment!
