Step 1

Crumble or chop the cooked, cooled bacon into small pieces and spread it in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Pour all of the vodka over the bacon. Tightly cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 3

Refrigerate for 5 days, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Set a mesh strainer over a large glass or ceramic bowl. Strain the vodka to remove the bacon pieces, which you can discard since all the bacony flavor has transferred to the vodka.

Step 5

Pour the vodka in a large glass measuring cup or pitcher. Line the strainer with 2 pieces of cheesecloth, set over the bowl, and strain the vodka again to remove any remaining fat.

Step 6

Pour the bacon infused vodka back in the bottle. Affix a label if you like. Store in the refrigerator.
