Bacon Infused Vodka
Last weekend, I blew my palate across the sky in a shower of beautiful sparks. I’m not talking about sucking on a Roman Candle, either. I’m talking about drinking bacon-infused vodka.
My friend Rob had some around his house that a chef friend had made. It’s smoky, a little greasy but not in a bad way. Like, kinda slippery-tasting. It’s not the sort of thing you’d want to gargle with or drink out of a full pint glass. But it would make the mother of all Bloody Marys (Maries?) for a hangover breakfast drink. Or sipped straight, stirred with a slice of avocado.
Here’s a recipe that I found for the stuff — could make for a great Christmas gift, too.
And before people start cutting their eyes and warming up the snark for the comments, just remember: I know that bacon’s a big Internet meme right now. Possibly cliche, even. But there’s a good reason for it:
Bacon is awesome. End of story.

This is awesome. I just had to share it with a half dozen friends.

Now you should try bacon-infused bourbon. The smokiness goes really well with the bacon. PDT makes an incredible bacon-infused old fashioned with maple syrup instead of simple syrup — http://videos.nymag.com/video/In-Season-PDTs-Old-fashioned

That looks so gross. It might be good, but I would already have to be trashed to try it lol

I’m a new visitor here, and already I’m detecting a theme. Birds of prey are awesome. Michael Jackson was awesome. This American Life is awesome. And bacon, as you hardly have to point out, is awesome.
I could glob baconnaise on a short stack of flapjacks, and we all know people who would eat it. Bacon is awesome!

For A Bloody Mary use the bacon infused vodka and Guiness instead of worschestire (i have no idea how to spell it and am entirely too lazy to look it up) sauce. Spectacular!
