On January 31st I wrote about McAuliflower’s unique homemade vodka. It is a delicious drink that, until recently, was only available hidden away in the dark back corners of the pantries of a few adventurous souls who dared try the recipe for themselves. 

Enter Bakon Vodka from Black Rock Spirits. Not since we ratified the 21st Amendment in 1933 has there been such a cause for celebration. No more must you hide your love for the taste of bacon booze in your friends’ basements. 

Sometime in the next two weeks, the bacon vodka-loution will begin in Washington and Oregon. Want to taste it in your home town? Just walk up to the bar and demand, “One shot of Bakon, please!”

The Brownie Points Blog’s McAuliflower dreamed up bacon vodka one day while working in “the lab”. We don’t know exactly what kind of lab she’s in, but we hope it’s filled floor-to-ceiling with bacon. 

The process actually sounds kind of easy – you take a few strips of fried bacon, put it in a mason jar with some vodka, lock in in a dark place for a few weeks and then strain it through a coffee filter.

Here’s what it looks like…

She suggests using it for bloody marys or giving it away as a gift. I think that the Double Down Saloon should use it in their Bacon Martinis.

Bacon Vodka Recipe

by McAuliflower of the Brownie Points Blog

Ingredients

3 strips delicious bacon

1 pint vodka

Place the bacon strips in a mason jar and fill with vodka. Cap the jar.

Put the jar into a dark cabinet for 3 weeks.

Move jar to freezer to solidify the fat.

Strain vodka through a coffee filter to remove fat. Bacon vodka will be pale yellow.

Decant into decorative bottles and enjoy.
