Ingredients
For the candied bacon:
6 slices hickory-smoked bacon
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
For the cocktail:
1 1/2 ounces aged rum
3 1/2 ounces pear nectar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 to 3 drops old-fashioned bitters
Pinch of salt
Directions
- Make the candied bacon: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Toss the bacon in a bowl with the brown sugar and place on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet so the fat drips down. Bake until it's as crisp as you'd like, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
- Make the cocktail: Combine the rum, pear nectar, lemon juice, bitters and salt in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and pour into a lowball glass. Garnish with a slice of candied bacon.
