How to make whisky flavour salt? (post #69601)

Does anyone know how to flavour a salt with a liquid ingredient? Like with a Whisky or a fruit juice (like raspberries?). And how to make it so that the flavour lasts and does not dissipate the day after? Thanks!!

flavored salt (post #69601, reply #1 of 1)
Hi! Flavoring salt with liquids might be tough-- it seems like you would have to mix the liquid with the salt, and then let the liquid evaporate. Depending on what else is in the liquid, you might end up with a sticky mess. For example, the sugar in some fruit juices would tend to hold on to the water. making it hard to get it completely dry.
Whisky might work though-- the high alcohol content will help evaporation. You could try it on a small scale. The combination might also be disgusting-- many of the volatile flavors in the "nose" of the whisky might also evaporate away with the alcohol and water, leaving you with a tarry, bottom-of-the peat barrel taste. You might be better off adding whisky flavor in a different way-- adding the liquor to a dish also contributes alcohol's capacity to extract and carry flavors.
Your best bet for fruits might be to mix dry ingredients with your salt. For fruits, you can get high-quality freeze-dried fruits, which you can powder and mix with your salt.
Flavored salt sounds intriguing-- what are you using it for?
