Excuse me, what?
I mean, yes yes yes yes yes.
I found this recipe on The Conscientious Carnivore, and am now thinking a) is it Happy Hour yet? and b) bacon-infused bourbon would make for a pretty spectacular Christmas gift for a very special man in my life.
Bacon-Infused Bourbon:
Add 1 1/2 oz rendered bacon fat to 1/2 bottle of bourbon and let it stand at room temperature for at least four hours. Stick it in the freezer until the fat has solidified on the top, skim off the fat, and strain the bourbon through a coffee filter into a glass container.
Blackberry & Bacon Cocktail:
1. Squeeze the juice from 8-10 blackberries and set aside.
2. Muddle a few more raspberries in a glass.
3. Fill glass with ice, and add 2 oz bourbon, 1 oz blackberry juice, 2 tsp honey, and dash of bitters.
4. Garnish with…wait for it…a bacon swizzle stick. OMG.
