Has anybody tried soaking bacon in a jar filled with vodka?

Question

I read in Maxim Magazine that you can put bacon (3 strips) into a mason jar filled with vodka and store it for three weeks in a dark place. You can then strain the fat and bacon pieces out of the vodka and you are supposed to have some great tasting vodka. Anybody tried this?

Answer 1

That sounds like a dumb idea... if it works as expected, it will basically taste like a mouth full of fat.  It would be good for a marinade or something that uses alcohol but goes on food, but I wouldn't want to drink it.

You can put interesting things in vodka, though.  Ginger, mint leaves, cinnamon, all spice... these things actually taste good!

Answer 2

Sounds like a waste of bacon, the king of meats, to me.  You can definitely infuse vodka in that manner though, I tend to do it with onions and hot peppers though.

Answer 3

That sounds NASTY. Life is short, try it!

Answer 4

Have you ever tried to put two bottles of vodka in a watermelon and see what it taste like

Answer 5

G to the ROSS!!  How much time do you have on your hands??

Answer 6

why would you want to....if it doesn't taste good then you've ruined good bacon........
