"Carnivorous Cocktails" are all the rage! The best mixologists are like chefs behind the bar and they don't want to be limited to standard fruit-flavored infusions. Bakon Bacon Vodka is the answer! The savory aspect of bacon makes a great dominant profile in a cocktail like a Bacon Martini with a blue cheese-stuffed olive. But it can also take the back seat, with bacon's smoky flavor subtly enhancing the taste in a concoction like a Bacon Chocolate Martini. And, Bakon Vodka is a must have for the ultimate Bacon Bloody Mary!
Here are some Bacon Cocktail recipes to get you started:
