Bacon-Infused Old Fashioned

This classic cocktail gets a smoky twist with a bacon-infused bourbon base. Here's what you'll need: - 2 oz. bacon fast-washed bourbon (to make it, simply cook bacon, strain the fat, and let it soak in the bourbon for an hour or so) - 1/4 oz. maple syrup - 2 dashes Angostura bitters - 1 strip of cooked bacon (for garnish) To make the cocktail, stir the bourbon, maple syrup, and bitters together with ice. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Garnish with the strip of bacon and enjoy the savory, slightly sweet flavors of this unique twist on a classic.
