Bacon Bourbon

This smokey and savory cocktail is the perfect balance of sweet and salty. To make it, you'll need: - 2 oz. of your favorite bourbon - 1 oz. of bacon-infused simple syrup (to make this, mix equal parts water and sugar in a saucepan, and add a few strips of cooked bacon. Heat until the sugar dissolves, then strain out the bacon.) - 1/2 oz. of fresh lemon juice - A dash of bitters - A strip of crispy bacon, for garnish To assemble the cocktail, add the bourbon, bacon syrup, lemon juice, and bitters to a shaker with ice. Shake well, then strain into a glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with the crispy bacon strip, and enjoy!
