WAIT! DON'T RUSH AWAY JUST YET - IT ROCKS IN THE RIGHT COCKTAIL!
Ingredients
A Fifth of Good Quality Vodka - Keep the Bottle!
5 – 8 Strips of Bacon, Cooked Crisp and Chopped Up
Coffee Filters
Large Strainer
Sterilized Glass Jar with Lid
Optional: Peppercorns, Garlic Cloves, Herbs
Fry your bacon crisp but don’t burn it. Drain on some paper towels. Chop it into pieces small enough to fit into your glass jar.
Pour in your vodka.
Add your optional ingredients – making sure to trim, skin and clean where necessary.
Shake gently, cap off the bottle and store in a cool, dark location. It is not necessary to refrigerate as the alcohol acts as the antibacterial pickling agent.
Allow to sit for three weeks.
When the “brewing” time is up place your jar in the freezer so the fat will float to the top and congeal. You'll then be able to simply lift most of the fat out of your vodka.
Place your funnel into the saved vodka bottle, then place the coffee filters (2 or 3 together) into your large strainer and place this into your funnel.
Remove any remaining large fat particles with a spoon then pour the bacon infused vodka into the filter lined strainer/funnel right back into your original vodka bottle and cap off.
Voila! Pig in a bottle!
