bacon bourbon cocktail
 

this is so worth the effort. try it.

cook up a bunch of bacon and save the grease/drippings, whatever you call it. thing is, you need about 1 1/4 ounces of bacon fat.

on low heat, melt bacon fat and stir til liquid, and cook about 3- 4 more minutes.

pour a 750 ml bottle of Four Roses bourbon into a container, then add the bacon fat right into the bourbon, stir and cover.

let it stand for 4 hours.

then put it in the freezer for 2 hours (so the fat solidifies)

scoop the fat off the top, strain it twice through a cheese cloth back into the bottle.

you now have bacon flavored bourbon. yum!



the cocktail:

2 oz of bacon bourbon, 1/4 oz maple syrup, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, all in a shaker with ice.

shake that up, strain into a glass with ice.

get fucked up on tasty cocktail.

... this is a great idea for a breakfast-themed party.
