Bacon Vodka

Bacon Vodka

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.

I think that I might try to do this, but I would consider scaling up and maybe use cheap vodka and several passes of a carbon filter.

I guess it would be good in a bloody mary...

I wouldn't use a carbon filter, it will strip out too much of the bacon flavor. Normally with vodka that's a good thing. Maybe filter the vodka first?

Doesn't bacon make everything better?

 

[Shaggy]

If Beer and Hot Rods were Bacon Flavored....I'd never leave the Garage.

Bacon makes me a bad Jew. It's irresistible.

You could try dry hopping pork rinds. Perhaps some bacon bits in the last 5 minutes of your boil.

Uhm.. try this and report back to me.

I made up a batch of this two weeks ago - it's got one more week of conditioning to go. At the moment it looks pretty disgusting, with tiny globules of fat floating around in it, but once it's filtered I'm hoping it'll be presentable.

I think I'm going go get sick now.

I think I will try this. I have gallons of 'vodka' around the house.

 

[Willy Boner]

Wow, I'm going to have to rethink "Pork Fat Rules"!

 

[Danek]

I'm filtering my bacon vodka as I write this - it's pretty slow going. The stuff above the filter looks disgusting; the filtered vodka is clear as a bell, and has a pale yellow tint. No idea how it'll taste, but I'll post when the filtering is done.

Awesome...I'll be waiting.

Will you use a bacon bag for your bacon additions? I imagine the protein break will be substantial.

 

[Nurmey]

Guys, I think a lot of you but bacon vodka? Yeesh! Must be a guy thing.

 

[Brewpastor]

I have always wanted to make a meat meed, just because I like the name. I settled for a beet meed instead. Don't they call liquid meat "blood"?

 

[Danek]

It's filtered, and bottled, and I have a shot glass of it here...

Oh. Sweet baby Jesus. I'm finding it hard to describe how foul-tasting this is. I'm not sure if this is exactly the right description. But it's as if someone very ill had pissed into a bottle of salt.

I can't feel my legs.

Did you really need to try this to figure out what the result would be? Maybe my highschool principal was right...maybe too much drinking really does kill brain cells.

 

[PeteOz77]

It needs some Maple Syrup added I reckon....

 

[BlindLemonLars]

This is giving me second thoughts about the blood sausage vodka I was planning.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

Have you tried cooking with? Maybe smothering it over some runny fried eggs and toast?

Or maybe just feeding it to an alcoholic dog?

 

[SuperiorBrew]

it will go good with this

But the internet said it would be nice! I can't believe the internet would lie about something this important!

I'm going to try it in a bloody mary. If that's no good, then finding an alcoholic dog will be the only way to go.

 

[Shaggy]

Oh man...I was so pulling for this to be good.
One day I will attempt a bacon beer...theres got to be a way to end up with good result!

What kind of Vodka did you use Danek?

I'll have to give this the ol' college try as I have some meat related projects going on.

 

[Liquidicem]

This might be the most disgusting thing I've ever heard of and I love bacon...

I used Smirnoff. And the bacon was local organic happy-pig bacon. The two ingredients on their own are pretty good, but I guess it's not a very happy marriage.

I'll bring it on my brother's stag do this weekend and see what other people make of it. Because if drunken pre-wedding bachelor antics don't go well with bacon vodka, then I don't know what will.

Have you tried putting the vodka in the freezer before doing a shot?

I like vodka, but I prefer it chilled ....
