How to infuse bacon into your cocktail for incredible flavor

Описание: Bacon-Infused Old Fashioned 🥃🥓
.
Ingredients:
• 4-5 slices thick-cut bacon + ¼ C reserved bacon fat
• ½ oz. simple syrup
• 1 C bourbon
• 2 dashes orange bitters
• 2 dashes aromatic bitters
For the Bacon-Infused Bourbon:
1. Place the bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until golden brown, flipping as needed. Set the bacon aside, reserving the bacon grease.
2. Pour bourbon into a mason jar plus ¼ cup reserved bacon fat. Shake the mason jar for about 10 seconds or until well combined. Place the infused bourbon in the freezer for at least 24 hours.
3. Once the bacon fat has solidified, remove the mason jar from the freezer and scoop out the bacon fat. Pour the remaining liquid through a strainer with a cheesecloth on top into a second mason jar or storable container. This step will ensure any remaining fat particles are caught (it may be necessary to strain more than once).
4. Store the infused bourbon in the freezer.

For the Cocktail:
1. Add 2 shots of infused bourbon into a shaker glass with 1 oz. simple syrup, and both bitters listed above. Shake for about 10 seconds, then sip and adjust to taste.
2. Pour the mixture into a cocktail glass and garnish with a slice of the prepared bacon. Enjoy!
