1poundregular sliced smoked bacon, crisply cooked and well drained
1750 mlbottle vodka
Instructions
Crumble or chop the cooked, cooled bacon into small pieces and spread it in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.
Pour all of the vodka over the bacon. Tightly cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for 5 days, stirring occasionally.
Set a mesh strainer over a large glass or ceramic bowl. Strain the vodka to remove the bacon pieces, which you can discard since all the bacony flavor has transferred to the vodka.
Pour the vodka in a large glass measuring cup or pitcher. Line the strainer with 2 pieces of cheesecloth, set over the bowl, and strain the vodka again to remove any remaining fat.
Pour the bacon infused vodka back in the bottle. Affix a label if you like. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
Bacon vodka will keep in the refrigerator in a sealed glass container for at least 6 months.
