Bacon Bloody Mary

Recommended Posts

I just had a bacon bloody mary at lunch today and it was just amazing. The place actually infuses their cooked bacon fat with vodka and then skims it later creating a highly complex and smokey vodka. The bacon was very obviously smoked with either hickory or applewood and the drink had a good amount of horseradish and some worcestershire. They served it with a lemon wedge and a slice of bacon in the drink. My only complaint was the lack of celery, as I think that is a critical part of a bloody mary. But this was one of the best made cocktails I have ever had.

Someone actually sells bacon vodka but they don't ship to NJ so I'm wondering how hard this would be to recreate on my own.

I'm vegetarian but that sounds alright, bit gimmicky, also I don't think celery is essential to a bloody mary at all, what's essential is fuckloads of tobasco and black pepper.

 

also the bloody mary is totally a morning drink I'd feel odd having one past say 3pm. at that point it's martini hour.

here and now i'm sayin: i really prefer salty things over sweet things. consequently, bloody marys provide welcome relief from all the sugary crap out there.

Bloody Marys are the worst cocktail. Tomato ugggggh.

 

Funnily enough, being a beer man myself, both hard liquor and mixed drinks—the bloody mary in particular—always seemed kind of gross to me. But this thread is reeeeeally starting to intrigue me

 

wait a minute that wasn't funny at all

it def had black pepper and loads of fresh horseradish. I had it around 11:45-12 this morning/afternoon at a lunch meeting.

Sounds horrible, but then again so do bloody marys. Never tried either, so my comment is invalid. Would give it a shot tho.

I've got a local wine kitchen here that I can guarantee makes a better one - the bartender makes everything in-house, from the bacon and vegetable infused vodka to the mixer itself. I've probably drank 500 of the things by now. He's actually gotten me into infusing vodka myself, and earlier in the year I worked out a green olive and habanero pepper infusion. Pretty damn good.

ooh, sounds amazing. last year i infused vodka with birdseye peppers, i think i used too many though, it was spicy as FUCK. maybe next time i'll use jalapenos or something a bit less ridiculous, heh. nemiroff make a nice honey pepper vodka (which i never see around anymore) that i'd like to try my hand at cloning.

Yeah, how long did you leave the peppers in the vodka itself, if you don't mind my asking? The key isn't necessarily too many peppers/not enough peppers, but actually that if you don't remember to separate the vodka after a day or so, it will just get exponentially hotter ad infinitum. I learned that the hard way, but then...I love really spicy stuff so it's all good!

lol it was probably around a month or so.. and then i left the peppers in there while i consumed the bottle. so it got progressively more spicy until i almost couldn't drink it (and i'm a huge fan of spicy food - just ask pigster about that drunken night when i made everyone eat a spoonful of ridiculously spicy mango pickle). was quite fun with lemonade though, with sneeze-inducing bubbles, hehe.
