Bacon flavored vodka

Image...
Don Yovicsin, owner of Jake’s Dixie Roadhouse in Waltham, makes his own bacon-flavored vodka, which has become a huge hit in Bloody Marys, he says.

He fried a batch of Niman Ranch thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, added the crispy bacon to a large infuser jar with Absolut vodka, then let it sit for four weeks. After the liquor was smoky, he filtered out the bacon pieces with cheesecloth, chilled the vodka to congeal the bacon fat, then removed it via coffee filter. The remaining smoky liquor was bottled and put behind the bar, where Jake’s is serving it in a variety of cocktails. “The clear winner has been our Bloody Mary,” said Yovicsin. “It’s too perfect with the smoky bacon flavor.”
