Your inspiration.
While getting creative with pumpkin in the "cocktail lab" (AKA the kitchen) we got inspired when we saw the leftover bacon and bacon grease from the morning's breakfast! We chose to use maple syrup as the sweetener because it brings the flavors of the pumpkin and bacon together! Plus, who doesn't love bacon???
Advice
- Use 100% pure canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
- To make homemade bacon-infused vodka: fry 3-4 strips of bacon, pour bacon grease & bacon strips into a seal-able container. Frequently shake the mixture and let it sit out for a minimum of 24 hours (up to a week). When the mixture is ready, chill it in the fridge for an hour until the fat rises to the top and hardens. Strain the mixture to remove the fat and bacon particles and pour into a storage container.
- We recommend making your own whipping cream, using maple syrup instead of sugar.
- We prefer Hiram Walker's Original Cin cinnamon schnapps.
