Bacon fat-washed Bourbon

Step 1

Put the bacon slices into a pan and slowly increase the heat.

Step 2

Render the fat under low heat to get as much flavor and fat out of the bacon strips.

Step 3

Once you have enough fat, transfer the warm bacon fat into your Bourbon bottle.

Step 4

Let the mixture infuse for at least 24 hours.

Step 5

Then, store the bottle in the freezer for a few hours to solidify the fat.

Step 6

Remove the solid fat by triple-straining the fat-washed spirit with filter paper or cheesecloth.

Step 7

Store it in the fridge and use it up within the next two weeks.
