Divine Manhattan
Ingredients:
BACON INFUSED RYE
8 oz smoked bacon (“Applewood” or “Hickory Smoked” both are good for infusing)
12 oz Rye
SALTED CHOCOLATE BACON GARNISH
(6) 4” slices of thick cut smoked bacon
(1) 85% Divine Dark Chocolate bar
Large flake sea salt
COCKTAIL
2 oz bacon infused Rye*
½ oz Sweet Vermouth
2-3 dashes Angostura Bitters
Salted Divine Chocolate bacon garnish*
Directions:
To make the Bacon Infused Rye:
Render smoked bacon until crisp and then remove the bacon slices from the pan. Save rendering/liquid fat for next step. In a heat safe non-reactive container, measure out rye. Pour the warm liquid fat over the rye, cover and let sit at room temperature for at least an hour (longer for a more pronounced flavor). To skim fat, place the container in the freezer overnight. Once the fat has congealed and hardened, remove by breaking apart. Filter infused rye through a coffee filter or fine strainer to remove any remaining particles. Store tightly sealed for up to two months.
To make the Salted Divine Chocolate Bacon Garnish:
Lay bacon on a sheet tray and bake at 375* F for 20 minutes, or until crisp, but not dry. You may need to pour off some of the rendered fat during the process (use this to make more bacon infused rye). Remove from oven and transfer to a rack until cool. Temper Divine Chocolate in a double boiler. Dip or paint half of the bacon with melted chocolate, sprinkle with salt and let cool until set. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To Finish the Cocktail:
Combine bacon-infused Rye, Vermouth and Bitters in a mixing glass. Add ice and stir until well chilled. Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a slice of salted chocolate bacon.
