Hmm. Yum?

I've just been alerted to the existance of Bacon Vodka. My first thought, of course, was, "Dude!" My second thought was "...but what would you do with it?"

I mean, you could drink it straight, but bacon-flavor or not, it's still vodka. I don't drink fruit-flavored vodkas straight, because no matter how delicious the fruit is, they still taste like vodka (that is, they taste like burning). The first recipe suggested on that site is usnig it in a bloody mary, which would be great except for the fact that bloody marys are vile.

The steak marinade is an interesting idea, and I'd be interested to see what effect using vodka instead of vinegar has on a steak. But that also isn't worthy of buying an extra bottle of vodka for--just add a couple crumbled slices of bacon (or some bacon salt) to the marinade.

So that leaves the chocolate-and-bacon drinks. Which may be a valid idea. After all, chocolate-covered bacon and bacon-chip cookies work nicely. But am I really curious enough to find a way to mail-order the stuff from the northwest?

Or one other thought:

2.5 oz bacon vodka
.5-1 oz brown simple syrup (simple syrup made with brown sugar)

Okay, if Bacon Vodka makes it to this side of the country (or, say, esprit_du_tigre or hyouneko brings some over), we must have a bacon cocktail party. But I'm too skeptical, I think, to go out of my way for it.

After coming up with those recipes, I may just order a bottle online.

You know it's pretty easy to infuse vodkas... I bet you could MAKE bacon vodka. Just like Skittles vodka!
