Bacon Party
note: this entry is 9 months late. the bacon party took place waaaay before bacon parties became cool.
I like bacon. I like theme parties. I put the two ideas in a blender, along with a splash of vodka, stirred vigorously, and invited a lot of friends. The bacon party was born!
Everyone had to bring “creative bacon”. We had :
- bacon-wrapped bacon
- bacon on twinkies (prize: most creative use of bacon)
- chocolate-covered bacon
- bacon-wrapped chicken (prize: tastiest use of bacon)
- deep fried bacon (prize: most unhealthy use of bacon)
- inside-out BLTs
- a “bakini”
- bacon manicures (pink, red and white nail polish applied in a linear pattern)
- bacon bloody marys
- apple punch to match all the bacon flavors
We even had a visit from bacon himself:

Bacon Blood Mary’s
- Handle of Vodka (get the cheapest thing in a glass bottle)
- 4 slices of bacon
- pepper
- Tabasco sauce
- Worcestershire sauce
- horseradish
- tomato juice
For the bacon-infused vodka:
Fry up 4 slices of bacon. Don’t get them too crispy or burned… you just want them cooked soft. Blot the bacon grease and put into your handle of vodka. Season with 1-2 teaspoons of black pepper depending on how much you like pepper. Let the vodka sit for at least 3 weeks.
For the bloody-mary’s:
Coat the bottom of your glass with Worcestershire sauce.
Fill up a cocktail shaker with ice, add 1-2 shots of bacon vodka, 4 shots of tomato juice, and then as much Tabasco sauce and horseradish as you like. shake and add to the Worcestershire sauce. Garnish with bacon!
