Bacon Product of the Week: Bacon Vodka!
March 3rd, 2008 by HeywoodFirst we brought you the Bacontini. Now we teach you how to make it…or at least, make the main ingredient in it: Bacon Vodka!
You’ll be surprised though, this isn’t actually very tough. The BrowniePointsBlog lays it out in 8 easy steps:
- Fry up three strips of bacon.
- 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 can just throw a bunch of fried up bacon scraps in the mason jar).
- Optional: Add crushed black peppercorns.
- Fill the remainder of the bacon/peppercorn mason jar with vodka.
- Cap and place in a dark cupboard for at least three weeks. That’s right– don’t refrigerate it.
- After 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.
- Decant into decorative bottles and enjoy.
