NYMag.com: Make PDT's Bacon-Infused Old-fashioned

In the magazine this week, maple syrup was a key ingredient in the "In Season" recipe. Don Lee of PDT may use maple syrup to make his old-fashioned, but we couldn't get past the bacon-infused bourbon that is the base of the drink. Bacon? Bourbon? We're in. And since we took our camera to PDT yesterday to watch Lee prepare the drink himself, we can all practice at home. Frequently. Video by Jonah Green

It doesn't really taste like bacon at all. It was more for a subtle smokey flavor. But trust me--it was delicious.

And if you blend in some scrambled eggs, pancakes and orange juice....you're all set.

Cheers!

I played on the idea of a Benton's bacon I fused old weller flip at the cocktail bar I work at. Turned out pretty well!

Fear not, California brethren. Go search and order the PDT Cocktail Book, and all this and more can be yours for a low low introductory fee.

let the bacon greese sit with the bourbon for 12-24hours before putting it in the freezer, you'll get more bacon flavor
