Dethroner writes of the possible demise of the internet’s love affair with bacon. They counter this notion with what else, Bacon infused Vodka! It’s what’s for breakfast.

To make:

1 large sterile mason jar
5 - 6 strips of cooked bacon - drained
1 bottle premium Vodka

Add bacon to the mason jar and fill with Vodka. Let the bacon steep in the vodka for a few days in a very cool place or the fridge. After the Vodka is infused with bacony goodness, remove the bacon, cover the jar with cheese cloth, secure it and strain the Vodka into another clean container.

We also found this pork laden delight on slashfood: The Bacon Martini
Here’s how to make it:

“Lightly mist martini glass with vermouth, and rim the edge with bacon grease. In a cocktail shaker, mix 3oz vodka, one dash Tabasco, and one dash olive juice. Shake well and strain into cocktail glass. Skim excess bacon grease from surface of cocktail. Garnish with one slice of bacon.”

Q: Can I use Chivas Regal Scotch (15 yrs. old) in a pecan pie recipe? That is the only whiskey I have on hand and it’s never been opened. The recipe calls for bourbon.

A: While scotch and bourbon are both whiskeys, they have very different tastes. Bourbon is slightly sweet, which gives a wonderful taste to peacan pie. Scotch doesn’t have the sweetness and many have a peaty flavor.

Although I haven’t tried it, I think that the scotch would not add a good flavor to the pie, it might even ruin it. Finally, as a scotch lover, the bottle you have is a good one. It is meant to be enjoyed neat, maybe with a bit of water. Please don’t waste it in a pie.
