How to Make Bacon-Infused Vodka: Fry 1 pound of bacon until crisp. Set aside
cooked bacon strips (bonus left-overs). Strain bacon grease into a sealable
container. Pour a bottle of vodka into the container with bacon grease. Cover
and chill for 1 week. With a spoon, carefully scoop bacon grease off of the top
of the vodka and discard. Store bacon vodka in the refrigerator or freezer.
