Bacon flavored vodka

[timmm]

Do you know of any liquor stores that sell bacon flavored vodka ? Yes it's real and yes I'm serious. Saw a drink recipe I'd like to try.

I have seen it (the bakon brand) at most liquor stores in my area (Porter Sq/Davis Sq and Ball Sq) My husband got about 3 bottles gifted to him for his bachelor party

I use it mostly for my penne ala vodka sauce. A friend made us a Bull Shot cocktail with it also.

I've had Bakon. I love booze and I love bacon. I also like playing around with flavored booze in cocktails. I assure you, this stuff was crap. I would vehemently recommend not buying it. If you absolutely must have it, I got it at Marty's in Newton. I think I've seen it at Martinegtti's on Old Soldier's Field Rd too.

It is very astringent and only had the slightest hint of bacon flavor. Nothing about it was good.

I was hoping to do bacon bloodies. didn't work at all.

off topic, but I would highly recommend Hanger One's Chipotle Vodka for bloodies. Fantastic stuff. Also Square One's Basil vodka makes an unbelievable caprese martini.

Get the Hangar One while it's still made by Saint George. They sold the brand but are under contract to produce it for another year or so.

thanks for the info. guess I'll stock in some extra bottles

A cooked candied bacon strip added to the cocktail as a stirrer is much better than the novelty vodka. Consider the candied bacon.

It's fairly easy to find on the shelves of the larger stores. I haven't tried any but I do know the "Bakon" brand does not us any bacon in the flavoring process.

Beat me to it. It has synthetic flavorants used in the food industry to fake the bacon flavor and aroma. Think about Bac-o-bits and how they are a vegan foodstuff.

You might want to look into fat washing vodka to get authentic bacon flavor.

If you can't find any, Emmets pub on Beacon Hill has a Bloody Mary with bacon flavored vodka. Great way to start a Sunday morning.

75 Chestnut also offers Bacon Vodka as part of their make your own bloody bar.

I don't know MA laws, but you might be able to order Bakon online. For example drinkupny. I have bought it from them several times. It has been well- received in my house, particularly for Bloody Mary.

Making your own is not particularly difficult fi necessary. It's one of those things I want to do but never do...

fair warning, I haven't had this product but the bacon vodka I had wasn't great.

i actually have some bakon. you get a lot more bacon in the smell than the taste, which in some ways is probably a blessing. I do find it fun to throw into a bloody mary (sometimes with hangar one's chipotle vodka), but other than that haven't used it much.

its not terrible, but its definitely more of a gag/novelty than anything... nowhere near as useful, or delicious, as a good bacon infused bourbon. i'd think hard about whether its worth the cash to pick up a whole bottle (unless you're making some mass recipe for a party, which would make sense and probably be a very good use for it).
