Jack Daniel's marinade is a preparation that has gained popularity in the kitchens of Latin America and the United States thanks to its distinctive flavor that combines the sweet and smoky touch of whiskey with other ingredients that enhance meats and seafood. Its origin is linked to the tradition of the cuisine of the southern United States, where Jack Daniel's whiskey, produced in Tennessee, is an iconic element. This marinade takes advantage of the aromatic and caramel notes of the whiskey, creating a perfect mixture for those who enjoy grilled dishes with an intense and sophisticated flavor.
In different Latin American countries, although it is not always called by the same name, similar versions of marinades that integrate whiskey or distilled beverages with traditional sauces can be found. In Mexico, for example, it is common to refer to this type of preparation simply as "whiskey marinade" or "adobo with whiskey." In Argentina and Chile, where grilled meats are a tradition, marinades with whiskey or cognac are used to give a special touch to red meats and poultry.
