Yo!!!  I actually made bacon-infused vodka about 8 years ago, but did it a bit differently than the posted recipe.  It was not nearly as popular with the festivarians as I had hoped because, without extensive filtering, it resembles lemonade *gag*.  I'd be up for trying again because it was really fine for Bloody Mary's! 

Speaking of which, is there any Bloody Mary party this year??  Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller?  Bueller?

I looking for a good recipe for vodka-infused bacon!

Try the one above.  When I did it, I literally soaked several whole pieces of bacon in vodka for about 2 weeks, then put it in the freezer to congeal the fat, then filtered.  Still came out hazy yellow.

Their's looks good and clear, but I wonder if it has much flavor with only 6 hours of soaking 2 spoonfuls of bacon goodness. Think I'll  give a test batch a go and see. Doesn't seem like enough bacon fat though. Maybe a cup of fat per bottle instead of just a couple tablespoons will amp it up properly.

I was wondering about Bloody Marys too. I'm in ... is it usually Monday morning?

Could do in conjunction with some kind of other breakfast festivities, watching penguin relay races etc.
