The Peppered Bacon Bloody Mary is a delightful twist on the classic cocktail. The crispy bacon garnish adds a savory and smoky flavor that perfectly complements the tangy and spicy tomato-based drink. It's a brunch favorite with a unique twist!
Ingredients: 4 slices of thick-cut bacon. 1.5 oz 45 ml vodka. 3 oz 90 ml tomato juice. 1/2 oz 15 ml fresh lemon juice. 1 dash of hot sauce adjust to taste. 1 dash of Worcestershire sauce. 1 pinch of black pepper. 1 pinch of celery salt. 1 celery stalk for garnish. 1 lemon wedge for garnish. Ice cubes.
Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 400F 200C. Arrange the bacon slices on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Dredge the bacon slices in a large pinch of black pepper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy, in a preheated oven. Take it out and allow it to cool. Cut the bacon into strips or pieces the size of garnishes once it has cooled. Pour ice cubes into a shaker. Fill the shaker with vodka, tomato juice, fresh lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and celery salt. Shake briskly until thoroughly combined and chilled. Pour the mixture through a strainer into a tall glass that is iced up. Add a lemon wedge, a peppered bacon strip, and a celery stalk as garnish. Enjoy your Bloody Mary with Peppered Bacon after serving!
