![]() ![]() Despite the high proof nature of the spirits, you really don’t hardly taste the alcohol. This is one very satisfying drink to write home about. And best of all is to do both simultaneously. This is a flexible drink, as one can choose to savor the bacon-y apple flavor of the drink or quaff the maple toasted marshmallow creamy espuma. You then notice the hint of vanila from the Tuaca and experience a “just sweet enough” sensation. First you smell the aroma of nutmeg with a hint of toasted marshmallow, then the bacon flavor mingles especially well with the Applejack. Upon tasting, prepare to be pleasantly overwhelmed with flavor. Take a butane torch (or windproof lighter) and flame Espuma in a circular motion (medium pace) until slightly browned. Top with Espuma from cream whipper (shake vigorously first), dispense in spiral pattern. Remove rocks glass from freezer and strain mixture into glass. In a martini shaker, add all ingredients, and add ample ice, and shake vigorously. Place a cylindrical rocks glass in the freezer.

I think this will produce the result I want the first time. Next time I’ll pour both the bacon & the fat into the Mosa. Two hours later, I retrieved the mix, and removed the fat (frozen and risen to the top), and filtered the mix through a coffee filter. The next morning I stirred some more, and then (per some insightful bartender’s suggestion) put the whole mixture in the FREEZER. I added the fat, stirred periodically, and let it all sit overnight. So, I screwed up by not pouring in the bacon fat □ but I was still determined. Long story short, bacon infused spirits get the main part of the flavor from the bacon FAT, not just the bacon. I then tasted the vodka, and though it had some bacon flavor (and was cloudy), it didn’t have quite the intensity I was looking for. I waited 10 minutes, blew all the gas, opened the cream whipper and waited another 10 minutes, swirling periodically. I added just under a pint of Sobieski vodka, and charged with 2 N2O chargers (shaking between charges for maximum dissolving). ![]() I fried two pieces of extra thick cut bacon, cut them in half, and added them to my Mosa 1 pint cream whipper, purchased from Creamright. I have heard about this “Bacon infused vodka” thing for a while, but never tried it till yesterday night. But it started with another experiment (so learn from my mistake). So good, I have to share!
