On the Rocks' Bourbon Pepper is a seasoning that "muddles" the aroma of bourbon and blood orange for an elevated grill seasoning. This blend features a mix of citrus, peppercorns, garlic and onion to boost the preparation of everything from burgers and steak to seafood and ribs.
The gluten-free seasoning is additionally free from any artificial colors, flavors and preservatives and it promises to be a valuable addition to the kitchens of bourbon, grill and spice lovers alike. Some of the suggested recipes for using this seasoning blend include mussels with bourbon butter, old fashioned brie bites and even beverages like blood orange shrimp cocktails.
On the Rocks' Bourbon Pepper (a Specialty Food Association 2021 Gold winner) was recently displayed at the Winter Fancy Food Show.
