More bacon cocktails.... Yes!
Had the group over to watch the USC-UCLA game Saturday, and what did they want? Candied bacon martinis.
I was more than happy to oblige.
Now, while I'm always happy to fix a cocktail -- especially one garnished with candied bacon -- I must admit I started craving something more. Bacon is not a one-note food, magical creation that it is, and I felt a bit bad that I had only one alcoholic vehicle in which to showcase it... until now.
Got an e-mail from Kelly Hightower, Cocktails Examiner at Examiner.com. She did a series on bacon cocktails (how cool is that!) exploring a number of creative suggestions and recipes for cocktails and bacon. The list includes variations on the Bloody Mary, bourbon and coke, old-fashioned, multiple martinis and even a take on the tequila sunrise (she calls it a "Mexican Bacontini").
Haven't tested any of the recipes myself yet, but they sound delicious. Guess I have my work cut out this weekend....

Here's where the list stands:
You should be much closer to number one on that list. Some of those are just too obvious or silly. You show some originality unlike Ms. Potato Salad up there.

Man, enough with the bacon already! I'm so sick of all of the bacon posts on this blog!
