For an extra smoky flavor, try using a whiskey with a peaty profile. Don't overwork the meat mixture, as this will result in tough burgers. If you don't have dark beer on hand, you can substitute with beef broth or a lighter beer. For best results, use high-quality ground beef with a good amount of fat (80/20 blend is ideal). Get creative with your toppings! Caramelized onions, blue cheese, or a fried egg would be delicious additions.
