I don’t think there is a meat eater on the planet that doesn’t like bacon and I think that every vegetarian still secretly craves bacon while they are gnawing on their vegetarian scramble. It only makes sense to combine this delicious pork product with man’s favorite vice, booze. What could be better than something that tastes like delicious bacon and lets you catch a buzz? You aren’t going to find this tasty libation at your local booze mart. It is going to take a few basic supplies, a little patience and some home brewing. You can bet your sweet ass I am going to have my own batch marinating before the week is out.
Makes one pint
1) Fry up three strips of bacon
2) Add cooked bacon to a clean pint sized mason jar. Trim the ends of the bacon if they are too tall to fit in the jar. Or you could go hog wild and just pile in a bunch of fried up bacon scraps.
3) Optional: add crushed black peppercorns.
4) Fill the jar up with vodka. Cap and place in a dark cupboard for at least three weeks.(No need to refrigerate)
5) At the end of the three week resting period, place the bacon vodka in the freezer to solidify the fats. Strain out the fats through a coffee filter to yield a clear filtered pale yellow bacon vodka.
6) Decant into decorative bottles and enjoy.
