Bacon Washed Bourbon

1 day
Course Syrups and Garnishes

Equipment

  • Airtight Container

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz Applewood Smoked Bacon
  • 750 ml Bourbon

Instructions
 

  • Heat up the bacon strips or pieces until it renders out the fat. Reserve infused bacon meat for food use.
  • Pour your bourbon and bacon fat into a container such as clean Tupperware and shaking gently to combine.
  • Allow the combined liquid to set for approximately an hour and then freeze overnight so the fat separates and hardens.
  • Once set scrape the fat off or use cheesecloth and strain the liquid to remove.
  • Most likely, a combination of both will be required; plan on having to strain the bourbon two or three times to thoroughly remove the unwanted solids.
  • Store in refrigerator
