Instructions

Description: This is a twist on the classic Old Fashioned cocktail, adding a touch of sweet and smoky flavors. Smokey Maple Bacon Embrace is designed for the adventurous palate, featuring a homemade maple bacon-infused bourbon that intertwines the savory essence of bacon with the richness of maple syrup. A whisper of smoke is introduced to enhance the sensory experience, making each sip a comforting yet complex journey. Ingredients: - 2 oz Maple Bacon Infused Bourbon (homemade, see below) - 1/4 oz Dark Amber Maple Syrup - 2 dashes Angostura Bitters - 1 dash Orange Bitters - Orange Peel - Ice Cube (preferably a large cube for slow dilution) - Crisp Bacon Strip for garnish - Smoked Salt (optional) Maple Bacon Infused Bourbon: - 750 ml Bourbon - 4 strips of cooked bacon - 2 tbsp of high-quality maple syrup For the Infusion: 1. Cook the bacon until crisp and let it drain and cool down, reserving 1 tbsp of the rendered fat. 2. Combine the bacon, reserved bacon fat, and maple syrup with the bourbon in a jar. 3. Allow to infuse for about 4 to 7 days, shaking the jar daily. 4. After the infusion period, freeze the bourbon so that the fat solidifies. 5. Strain the bourbon through a cheesecloth to remove solids and bacon fat. Glass: Serve in an Old Fashioned glass, also known as a lowball or rocks glass. Instructions: 1. Add the maple syrup, Angostura bitters, and orange bitters to the Old Fashioned glass. 2. Fill the glass with a large ice cube and pour the maple bacon-infused bourbon over it. 3. Stir gently to combine and to chill the drink thoroughly. 4. Run the orange peel around the rim of the glass and then twist it over the drink to release the oils; drop the peel into the glass. 5. Optionally, lightly sprinkle smoked salt over the drink for an additional smoky flavor. 6. Garnish with a crisp bacon strip, either resting on the glass or as a stirrer. The result is a luxurious, savory cocktail with a balance of sweetness and smoky depth that pays homage to the classic Old Fashioned, while bringing something entirely new to the glass.
