As previously mentioned, I have been alerted of the existence of a peculiar substance known as Bacon Salt. Bacon Salt is a magic substance which adds the great taste of bacon to anything. As you know – or should know – bacon makes everything taste better. Of course, when I was first told of this, my first question was “Can I put it on bacon?” Resolution One for 2008 – try thick-cut bacon sprinkled liberally with Bacon Salt. Resolution Two for 2008 – make a kick-ass BLT sandwich sprinkled liberally with Bacon Salt.
Resolution Three is where it’s at. I want to bacon up some booze. My project for 2008 is to take popular cocktails and bacon them up with Bacon Salt. First up is a Bacon Mary, a Bloody Mary with Bacon Salt. The list for the rest of the year follows the jump.
The plan originally was to try a new cocktail every month. Then I realized that there were more cocktails that could benefit from the rich, smoky taste of bacon than there are months in the year. Then I realized that this resolution would interfere with my beery Oktoberfest. So compromises were made, including some Bacon Salt cage matches. The list is as follows:
- February: Bacotini (Bacon Martini)
- March: Bacon Sour (Bacon Whiskey Sour)
- April: Baco-rita (Bacon Margarita)
- Smarch: Bacon Sunrise (Bacon Tequila Sunrise)
- May: Bacon Julep (Bacon Mint Julep)
- June: Bacon Collins (Bacon Tom Collins)
- July: Bacon Daiquiri vs. Bacon Colada taste test
- August: Bacojito (Bacon Mojito) vs. Bacorinha (Bacon Caipirinha) taste test
- September: Bacon Fizz (Bacon Gin Fizz)
- October: Bacontoberfest – Bacon Salt and beers, ales, stouts, and ciders
- November: Bacon & Bourbon – a sampler of American whiskeys and bourbons with Bacon Salt
- December: Bacon Nog (Bacon Egg Nog)
It’s going to be a tough resolution, but I’ll stick it out in the name of mixology. Stay tuned.
