Bacon Melon-tini

Combining the fresh and slightly sweet flavor of melon with bacon creates a drink that is perfect for summer fun.

You’ll Need:

• Fresh melon
• 1 bottle Ketel One vodka infused with bacon
• 1 lb. Bacon + more for garnish

Directions:

Start by infusing a 750 ml. bottle of Ketel One vodka with 1 lb. of bacon.

1. Prepare the vodka until it is crisp.
2. Place it in an airtight container such as a mason jar, along with the vodka.
3. Run this through the dishwasher (really! – it helps the infusion process.)
4. Let the jar sit at least overnight to get a full flavor.
5. Filter through a coffee filter to avoid a greasy film at the top of your drink.

Next, use that vodka to make the Bacon Melon-tini!

1. Cut a fresh melon into small pieces.
2. For every 5 oz. of vodka, use about 1/2 cup melon, and in a mixer, muddle the melon in the vodka.
3. Add ice and shake.
4. Pour into a glass, and top with a garnish of fresh melon wrapped in a slice of bacon.
5. Enjoy!
