Prep: 5 min | Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

1 1/2 ounces bacon flavored vodka*
4 ounces tomato juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 to 2 dashes hot sauce
Juice of half a lemon
1/2 teaspoon dried ground horseradish
1 slice cooked bacon**
1 celery stalk
A sprinkle of seasoned salt and fresh ground black pepper
Various pickled vegetables, if desired

Instructions

Fill a shaker with some ice.
Add remaining ingredients and give it a good shake.
Pour it into a seasoned salt-rimmed glass and garnish with a piece of cooked bacon, a celery stalk and your favorite pickled vegetables.

Notes

* If you can’t find bacon flavored vodka, you can add a cooked piece of bacon to the glass and pour in the vodka. Allow it to sit for a few minutes and then continue to make your drink. This will give a hint of the bacon flavor to the vodka.

** To save time, you can buy bacon that is already cooked.

If you like it spicy, add a little cayenne pepper or some extra hot sauce or horseradish.
