When I arrived in Nashville, I had been road-tripping for three hours from the Smoky Mountain town of Gatlinburg, Tennessee and was ready to cut loose. There was no better place to do it than at the test kitchen of Prohibition Popcorn, whiskey-infused caramel corn (otherwise known as caramel corn for adults). I mean let's be real: Infuse anything with whiskey and I'm d, guys (pickles especially).

The sister-brother duo Melanie and Rodney Thompson behind Prohibition Popcorn got the boozy idea because they came across a tequila popcorn recipe online and thought they could give it a Southern twist by swapping in whiskey instead. They were really onto something: This popcorn is INSANE. If you know me you'll probably roll your eyes and be like "Yeah, yeah, you say insane a lot," but I mean it that this stuff is crack!

The buttery brown sugar glaze in which the Thompsons coat the popcorn is totally ADDICTIVE, and the whiskey gives it a subtle smoky flavor. A jar of this is perfect for any whiskey lover in your life; it's like Cracker Jack, only all grown up and ready to party.
