Two of the greatest flavors on Earth are pairing up to create the perfect marriage: Bacon and bourbon.

The process doesn’t take as long as you may think, and the side benefit is munching on bacon while your bourbon is taking on the smoky flavor.

Just a few simple steps will have your taste buds on their way to sheer bliss:

  • Fry your bacon
  • Measure your Bourbon
  • Pour bacon fat into measured Bourbon
  • Infuse mixture
  • Skim excess fat
  • Strain infused Bourbon
  • Whip up your cocktail
