Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Whiskey
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Pour in the whiskey and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly to burn off the alcohol.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Let the sauce simmer gently for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

If a thicker consistency is desired, sprinkle in the xanthan gum while whisking constantly to avoid clumping. Simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Step 8

Remove the sauce from heat and allow it to cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm over your favorite meats, vegetables, or dishes that pair well with a rich, savory sauce.
