Instructions

Cook the pork

  • Rub the dry rub all over the pork generously to coat.
  • Place the pork roast in the slow cooker. Pour root beer and whiskey over.
  • Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours. Shred.

Prepare the whiskey honey syrup

  • Add these ingredients to a small saucepan. Simmer on medium heat until reduced to the consistency of syrup.
  • If mixture gets too thick, add a little more root bear to thin it back out.

Prepare the Apple Arugula Slaw

  • In a medium bowl, toss the apple in the lemon juice.
  • Add the remaining ingredients for the slaw. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Cook the waffles

  • Whisk together the ingredients for the waffle batter, stirring in the cheese last.
  • Using cooking spray for each waffle, prepare waffles according to the directions for your waffle iron. You want to cook them to a deep golden brown.

Assemble and serve

  • Layer a waffle and top with pulled pork, apple arugula slaw, and a drizzle of whiskey honey syrup.
