Instructions

Slice one of the bacon slices into thin strips, and place in a small bowl with rye, lime juice, simple syrup, and liquid smoke. Let infuse for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Pour the bacon-rye mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a cocktail shaker. Discard solids. Add ice to the shaker, and shake until well-chilled. Strain into a coupe glass (or martini glass), and garnish with a slice of bacon.

Notes

* Please don't buy simple syrup. It's very easy to make at home. Place equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan (for example, 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar), bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and let boil for 1 minute. Take the saucepan off the heat, and let the simple syrup cool to room temperature before using. Done! How easy is that? Simple syrup can be store in the refrigerator for many weeks.
