@Matt – I’d get it again, and maybe tell them to go easy on the zest.

When I get my hands on some Bakon, I’m going to make bloody marys with it.

@ehtrevor – shoot it sounds like if we had mixed your drink and mine they might have been one drinkable cocktail!

I had the bacon-bourbon cocktail as well. I think it has potential, but the execution was just ok. It was very sweet, I actually think I may have gotten too much maple. Definitely smokey. There was a huge piece of lemon zest in there that brightened it up a bit too much.

I had the bacon infused bourbon cocktail at Leon’s this weekend – it was awful. They did not use a great bourbon (4 Roses) and the infusion tasted like overbearing fake smoke. I love bourbon, bacon and maple syrup so I was excited about this drink – but it was a failure; couldn’t even taste a hint of maple.

I know a ton of foodies, myself included, who’d buy that. Bring it on!

Why not? Leon’s has a cocktail with bacon-infused bourbon and maple syrup.

Oh, swell. Another stupid internet meme runs amok. Maybe they can get Chuck Norris to be their pitchman.
