Recipe: Bacon Vodka

Driving in this morning, I heard mention of "Bacon Vodka" while listening to my daily NASCAR podcast from the guys over at RowdyRacing.  So I had to go find our more about it.  Here's a recipe that I found from a blog called Brownie Points.  I haven't tried it, but I thin -D should give it a shot as our Dilettante of Decoction.

Bacon Vodka


makes up one pint

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 could go hog wild and just pile in a bunch of fried up bacon scraps. Optional: add crushed black peppercorns.
Fill the jar up with vodka. Cap and place in a dark cupboard for at least three weeks. That’s right- I didn’t refrigerate it.
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.

Decant into decorative bottles and enjoy.

This could be kind fun to use in a Bloody Mary and would be perfect accessory when tending your cooker after an all night cook!

Cheers,
Braddog

I don't know....being in East TN this might be better with a jar of 'shine ;)

LOL! I'm not advocating 'shine, but that's an interesting thought!

Cheers,

I'm not so sure 'bout the bacon...but I don't mind being the resident 'shine advocate.
