Irish Whiskey Caramel Sauce

1 cup sugar

water to just cover the sugar and the bottom of the pan

1 cup whipping cream

1/4 cup Irish Whiskey

Place sugar into a medium saucepan. Shake the pan to distribute the sugar evenly and add just enough water to cover the sugar.

Place saucepan on stovetop and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, watching closely and swirling the pan occasionally. Remove from heat when the sugar mixture begins to color to a dark amber color, about 5-7 minutes.

Slowly whisk the cream and the Irish whiskey into the caramelized sugar, mixing until smooth.
