Bacon-Flavored Vodka for that Titanium Flask
The ideal after dinner drink for backpackers, whether you ate two packs of raw ramen or a frozen steak you hauled into the backcountry. It also might be the only alcohol that attracts bears.
Here’s how to make it:
Fry up three strips of bacon.
Add cooked bacon to a clean pint sized mason jar. Trim the ends of the bacon if they are too tall to fit in the jar. Or you could go hog wild and just pile in a bunch of fried up bacon scraps. Optional: add crushed black peppercorns.
Fill the jar up with vodka. Cap and place in a dark cupboard for at least three weeks. That’s right- I didn’t refrigerate it.
At the end of the three week resting period, place the bacon vodka in the freezer to solidify the fats. Strain out the fats through a coffee filter to yield a clear filtered pale yellow bacon vodka.

I once had to do a product photo shoot for a company that makes beef jerky. The head of the company had me take pictures of pints of beer with long sticks jerky sticking out of the beer.
“Doesn’t that look delicious? Don’t you think men will love that?”, she said, looking at me, obviously pleased with her brilliant marketing strategy. I had to tell her I was a vegetarian just to avoid any more awkward questions.
Now Bacon Vodka? Yes, I will be trying that. Bloody Marys maybe?
