This concoction is perfect for whiskey enthusiasts looking to explore a daring and delightful twist on their favorite spirit. Batch this innovative cocktail for your next gathering to surprise and enchant your guests with a fusion of savory and sweet, grounded by the timeless appeal of whiskey. ### Ingredients: - 2 oz Smoked Bacon Infused Whiskey (instructions below) - 0.5 oz Orange Liqueur - 0.75 oz Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice - 0.5 oz Maple Syrup (preferably Grade A, for its robust flavor) - 2 Dashes of Angostura Bitters - A strip of crispy bacon and orange twist, for garnish ### Smoked Bacon Infused Whiskey: 1. Cook 4 slices of high-quality, thick-cut bacon until crisp. Reserve the bacon fat. 2. Combine the bacon fat with 750ml of your favorite whiskey in a sealable glass jar. Let it infuse for 4-6 hours at room temperature. 3. Place the jar in the freezer for 2 hours. The fat will solidify on the top, allowing you to easily remove it. 4. Strain the whiskey through a coffee filter into a clean bottle or jar to remove any remaining solids. Your smoked bacon-infused whiskey is ready. ### Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the smoked bacon-infused whiskey, orange liqueur, fresh orange juice, maple syrup, and Angostura bitters with ice. 2. Shake well until the outside of the shaker feels cold. 3. Strain into a rocks glass filled with ice. A large ice cube is preferred for slower dilution. 4. Garnish with a strip of crispy bacon and an orange twist, delicately expressing the orange twist over the drink to release its oils before placing it. ### Glass: Serve in a rocks glass, allowing the aromas of the smoked bacon and orange to meld perfectly with the whiskey, offering a multi-sensory experience that's sure to delight. This "Smokey Citrus Bacon Whiskey Delight" marries the rich, savory depth of bacon with the brightness of orange, all harmonized by the smooth complexity of whiskey. It's a batchable cocktail that promises to be the talking point of any gathering, combining innovation with timeless appeal.
