Ingredients
For the Old Fashioned Bacon Bourbon
- 2 oz bacon bourbon
- ¾ oz grade A pure maple syrup I used grade B and it was still wonderful
- 2-3 dashes of orange bitters I used Fee Brothers West Indian Orange Bitters
- 1 piece of fresh orange peel
For the Bacon Bourbon
- 2 oz bacon fat melted (the smokier, the better)
- 1 750 ml bottle of bourbon
Instructions
- For the Old Fashioned Bacon Bourbon
- In a cocktail shaker, combine bacon bourbon, maple syrup, a few dashes of bitters, and ice. Shake and strain into a rocks glass.
- If desired, fill glass with ice first. Garnish with an orange peel.
- For the Bacon Bourbon
- In a medium non-porous bowl or pot (big enough to hold the bourbon) with a lid, combine bacon fat and bourbon. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 6 hours. Place in freezer overnight. Strain liquid from solids using a double layer of cheesecloth set over a colander.
- Reserve bourbon and pour back into original bourbon bottle or other bottle of your choice. Discard cheesecloth with bacon fat.
Notes
- Recipe adapted slightly from Chef Seth Raynor at the Boarding House in Nantucket, MA. I enjoyed this bevvy while on the 2013 Pork Crawl in Nantucket with the National Pork Board.
