You know I love the name of this cocktail so much that I had to try it! If you want to try making Don’t Go Bacon My Heart at home, see the ingredients below. If you would prefer to have the bartender’s original version, then go to Fig & Ash in Pittsburgh, PA. Don’t Go Bacon My Heart is on the right in the photo. The one on the left was a special request that Alan made.
Ingredients:
Bacon Fat Washed Rye Whiskey – I had to look up how to do a bacon fat wash. Here is the technique: Melt the bacon fat, mix it with the rye whiskey, let it steep for a few hours, put the mixture in the fridge or freezer until the fat separates from the bacon flavored rye whiskey, remove the fat and then strain the good stuff.
Apple Infused Brandy
Maple
Bitters
If you want my opinion, I think a piece of bacon should be added just like a bloody mary! If you missed my article on the yummy Wood-Fired Cauliflower at Fig & Ash, then click on the link.
