Patch got hold of the recipe, with directions for making bacon-infused bourbon. Stir in some BBQ sauce, garnish with pan-fried bacon, and you're all set.

Directions:

  1. Fry the bacon in a pan, reserving both the bacon and the fat.
  2. Pour the bacon and fat into a sous vide bag with Bulleit bourbon.
  3. Seal the bag and circulate at approximately 152ºF for one hour.
  4. Pour entire contents into a hotel pan and stick the pan in the freezer. 
  5. Once the fat has solidified, skim off the fat from the top and pass the remaining liquid through a fine mesh strainer. 
  6. Return the liquid to the bottle and hold in the refrigerator until you're ready to make your bloody mary.
  7. For the bacon garnish, brush two thick slices of bacon with Hak's BBQ sauce. Then crust with cracked black pepper and bake until done.
