Bacon Bloody Mary
Photo by K Hightower
In keeping with our bacon Monday theme, this week I am featuring the Bacon Bloody Mary. This combination seemed a natural when I was thinking about what I could make with my bacon infused vodka. I took this one to a very enthusiastic group of testers and I am happy to report that it was indeed a hit.

You may remember that last week I used Applewood Deep Smoked Bacon and Ketel One vodka for my chocolate bacon shot: The Grandi-Oso Royale. I am happy to report that several readers have let me know that they are currently making their own bacon vodka so they can try their own bacon vodka cocktails. I will keep in contact with them for their thoughts on the process and the drinks.

This week I used a non-smoked, plain bacon. I was going for more of a pure bacon salty taste and that is what I got. I also changed my vodka to Tito's Handmade Vodka. If you have never tried this, it is one you want to look for. Distilled six times this award winning spirit offers a wonderful flavor that  rivals the best of them.

Here is the recipe we used. The bacon flavor while subtle, is noticeable.

Bacon Bloody Mary

  • 2 oz Homemade Bacon Vodka
  • 8 oz tomato or V8 Juice
  • 1 tsp Horseradish
  • 1 tsp fresh Lime Juice or Lemon Juice
  • 4 dashes Tabasco Sauce
  • 4 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 pinch Pepper
  • 1 pinch Celery Salt

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice cubes, and shake well. Strain the mixture over the ice cubes in the highball glass. Squeeze a lime slice over the drink and garnish with a bacon slice.

Be sure and check back next week for the Bacon Martini. If you have any suggestions or have a recipe you would like me to try, leave a comment or email me at drinkexaminer@gmail.com
Cheers!
