Repeat after me… “Everything is better with Bacon!”

Serve this cocktail with Smoked Beef Ribs, and have a taste experience like no other. This citrus-y drink has a smokey finish, will leave you wanting more,
or breakfast, either way, there is bacon involved.

Okay so the husband and I visited my grandparents the other day. My grandfather knows everything there is to know about alcohol. I was telling him all about the blog and the adventures that I was having cooking things and makin’ my own bacon. In fact, I brought some bacon (we make some fresh every couple of weeks now) as a gift. Well doesn’t he have a drink that requires some bacon! I can’t even begin to describe this. I mean I am not a big whiskey person, but this was awesome.

METHOD

1. Fry up some bacon. Set aside on some paper towel to drain and cool. These can be prepared any way you like, thick sliced for bacon cubes, or thin slices to thread onto the skewers.
2. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the whiskey, lime juice, simple syrup and liquid smoke.
3. Shake, then strain into a rocks glass with ice and garnish with a bacon skewer.

Simple Syrup

1. In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
2. Pour in the sugar, and stir until completely dissolved. Allow to cool.

Okay. So not a huge whiskey drinker. Loved this cocktail. Like breakfast with a bite. You have your citrus, and your bacon… have some Gentleman’s Iced Coffee after. Yeah.
Actually we served the cocktail with Smoked Beef Ribs, and had the coffee for dessert, but it was still excellent.
