Homemade Bacon Vodka
3 strips of bacon
1 pint Vodka
1 pint Vodka
INSTRUCTIONS:
I got this recipe and photo from Brownie Points (pls click link to visit). I tried this at a speakeasy place (The bar next to Crif Dogs in E. Village) and end up really liking it. No kidding, try it!
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.

COSTS:
If you use cheap ass stoli, whole thing around $5-8. And impressing your friends is PRICELESS!
