Bacon martini
Bacon Martini is a unique cocktail that combines the savory flavor of bacon with the classic martini. It is a part of the larger trend of incorporating meat into cocktails, a practice that has been gaining popularity in recent years.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The term "Bacon Martini" is a combination of the words "bacon" and "martini". "Bacon" is a type of salt-cured pork that originated from the Old High German 'bacho', meaning 'buttock', which in turn is derived from the Proto-Germanic 'backoz', meaning 'back'. "Martini" is a cocktail made with gin and vermouth, and is typically garnished with an olive or a lemon twist. The name "martini" is derived from the Martini & Rossi brand of vermouth, which was first produced in the mid-19th century.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The Bacon Martini is made by infusing vodka with bacon and mixing it with vermouth. The process of infusing the vodka with bacon is known as fat washing, which involves adding a type of fat to a spirit, allowing it to infuse, and then freezing and straining the mixture to remove the solid fat. This process allows the flavors of the fat to be incorporated into the spirit without the fat itself being present in the final product.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
To prepare a Bacon Martini, the bacon-infused vodka is combined with vermouth in a cocktail shaker with ice. The mixture is then shaken and strained into a chilled martini glass. The cocktail is typically garnished with a piece of cooked bacon.
