Elevate your condiments game with this bold and flavorful Whiskey Mustard recipe, a blend of tangy, sweet, and savory elements that’s perfect for adding a gourmet touch to any dish. This small-batch mustard combines the sharp bite of yellow and brown mustard seeds with the mellowness of apple cider vinegar and smoky richness of whiskey, balanced by a hint of honey for subtle sweetness. Infused with aromatic spices like turmeric and garlic powder, this DIY condiment is as easy to make as it is irresistible. After a 24-48 hour soak to enhance the seeds’ texture and flavor, a quick blend gives you control over the consistency—chunky for a rustic spread or smooth for a dipping sauce. Ideal for burgers, charcuterie boards, or as a glaze for roasted meats, this homemade whiskey mustard is a game-changer for your pantry, with just 10 minutes of prep time and the ability to store for up to two months.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the yellow and brown mustard seeds with the apple cider vinegar and whiskey.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the mixture soak for 24-48 hours at room temperature. This allows the mustard seeds to soften and absorb the liquid.
After soaking, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor.
Add the honey, ground turmeric, garlic powder, kosher salt, and water to the blender.
Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother mustard, blend longer; for a coarser texture, blend less.
Taste the mustard and adjust sweetness or seasoning if necessary by adding more honey, salt, or garlic powder according to preference.
Transfer the finished mustard to a clean, airtight jar or container.
Let the mustard sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 day before using to allow the flavors to meld together.
Store the whiskey mustard in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
