Ready in: 4 days 3 mins

Ingredients

Makes: 1 1/2 cups

• 4 to 6 strips bacon
• 1 (375 ml) bottle cheap vodka

Preparation method

Prep: 3 mins | Extra time: 4 days, marinating

1. Cook the bacon until very crispy, but not burnt. Press between paper towels to remove as much grease as possible. Crumble when cool.
2. Drink a couple shots of the vodka to make room, then pour the crumbled bacon into the bottle of vodka. Screw the top back on, and set the vodka aside at least 4 days. The flavor will change the longer it ages, so experiment to see how you like it best.
3. Serve as shots at room temperature, or freeze before serving. You can either let the bacon settle and carefully pour bacon-free shots, or shake it up and serve a sort of bacon Goldschläger.Storage note

This does not need to be refrigerated any more than the worm in a bottle of mescal needs refrigeration. The vodka will preserve the bacon quite well.
