Ingredients
60 ml 60 bacon-infused bourbon
10 ml 10 maple syrup
3 Dashes 3 Angostura orange Bitters
1 1 strip of cooked bacon for garnish
1 1 orange peel twist for garnish
Equipment
Jar
Rock glass
Bar spoon
Jigger
Instructions
- To make bacon-infused bourbon:
- Cook 4-6 strips of bacon until crispy. Reserve one strip for garnish and save the rest for another use.
- Combine 250 ml (1 cup) of bourbon and the cooked bacon in an airtight container or jar.
- Let the mixture infuse for 4-6 hours at room temperature, occasionally shaking the container.
- Remove the bacon strips and strain the bourbon through a cheesecloth or coffee filter to remove any bacon particles.
- To make the Bacon Old Fashioned Cocktail:
- In a rocks glass, combine the maple syrup and Angostura orange Bitters.
- Fill the glass with large ice cubes.
- Pour the bacon-infused bourbon over the ice.
- Stir the mixture gently for about 20 seconds, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and the glass becomes frosty.
- Garnish the cocktail with the orange peel twist and a strip of cooked bacon, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a more intense smoky flavor, consider smoking the glass before mixing the cocktail. To do this, place a small piece of lit wood or a wood chip on a heat-resistant surface, invert the glass over the smoke, and let it sit for 30 seconds to a minute before filling it with ice and ingredients. This will add an extra layer of smokiness to your Bacon Old Fashioned Cocktail.
