Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp bacon fat
- 2 cups (500 ml) vodka
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp, reserving about 1.5 ounces (3 tablespoons) of rendered bacon fat. Let it cool slightly.
- Combine the warm bacon fat and vodka in a large jar or sealable container. Stir or swirl to mix.
- Let it sit at room temperature for 4–6 hours to infuse.
- Freeze overnight. As it chills, the fat will solidify on top.
- Skim and strain. Remove the solid fat layer and strain the vodka through a coffee filter or fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth.
- Store in a sealed jar. It’ll keep at room temperature for several weeks or longer if stored in the fridge.
