Homemade Bacon Vodka? Say It Ain’t So!
This one needs to go for a spin (or soak, as the case may be) in the FitLife laboratory, a recipe for whipping up a batch of homemade Bacon Infused Vodka… The details from The Brownie Points Blog:
- 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.
I’m sure the nutritional benefits of consuming your ration of smoky, porky, fatty goodness in (presumably) fat-free, boozified liquid form FAR out weigh the risks of getting plum snookered on one too many Bloody Oikers or Pigsty Martinis… Totally sure!
I believe some bacon chocolate (available at Molly Stone’s) would pair well with this booze recipe.
Ok, but how did it TASTE?
Give us a couple weeks to whip some up.
When is Bay to Breakers?
I’m awaiting the Bacon Vodka with bacon bated breath! You think you could make a Vegan version subsituting Baco’s???
Some of the comments on the recipe suggest that Beggin’ Strips might be an acceptable substitute. I bet those are pretty much soy and fake smoke flavor.
Great- just what I need, a dog beggin for Beggin Strip Vodka. I’m curious, can you use the seperated vodka fat to butter your frying pan like my Grandma does? If so I think you just made her year! Grandma likes to travel with her own booze- you know, in case where ever we’re going doesn’t serve her brand.
B2B is May 18th!!! We need to figure out if there will be some karaoke sideline action on the Panhandle.
