George's Rants: Bakon Vodka Review
"[I was] amazed at the mouthfeel. It was warm and had more substance than just vodka alone, and it actually tasted like the bacon I had last Sunday morning! It also reminded me of smoked pork. Swallowing it clinched the deal. It was among the smoothest vodkas I have ever had with absolutely no bite... It gave the drink a hint of smokiness and of course a subtle bacon flavor that really, really worked well."
Jay jokes in the monologue:
"A liquor company called Black Rock Spirits introduced a new bacon-flavored vodka. Bacon-flavored vodka. How fat and lazy are we getting in this country? Vodka and orange juice wasn't "breakfasty" enough? Are we going to have the 'Grey Goose Grand Slam' breakfast now?"

A meaty Martini - by Jacob Grier
"In some bacon flavored spirits smoke becomes the dominant taste, but this actually has a meaty flavor to it...I tried out a simple. This turned out pretty well, with the bacon flavor coming out more strongly than I thought it would and lending an additional savory note to the drink. If there's a killer app for bacon vodka, [the Bakon Bloody Mary] is definitely it."
