First 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:

1. Fry up three strips of bacon.
2. Add cooked bacon to a clean pint sized mason jar.
3. 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).
4. Optional: Add crushed black peppercorns.
5. Fill the remainder of the bacon/peppercorn mason jar with vodka.
6. Cap and place in a dark cupboard for at least three weeks. That’s right– don’t refrigerate it.
7. 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.
8. Decant into decorative bottles and enjoy.
