- ½ cups Jack Daniels or Jim Beam, Or Other Whiskey

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Add carrots, cooking for 1 ½ minute. Remove from skillet. Pour in whiskey and allow evaporating, 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium, and add remaining butter. After butter melts, sprinkle in brown sugar and stir together. Add carrots to skillet. Cover, and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
