Garnish:
Orange twist
How to make:
STIR bourbon and maple syrup in base of mixing glass until syrup dissolves. Add bitters and ice and STIR again. Strain into ice-filled glass.
To make fat-washed bourbon: Grill 4 slices of bacon (originally made using Benton's bacon, hence the name, but any extra-smoky bacon will suffice) to obtain 30ml/1oz of warm bacon fat and pour this into 70cl of bourbon (in a 75cl bottle). Leave to infuse at room temperature for a day before placing the bottle in a freezer to solidify the fat. Then clarify the bourbon by straining it into a clean bottle.
| 2 fl oz | Bourbon whiskey (bacon fat washed) |
| 1/4 fl oz | Maple syrup |
| 2 dash | Angostura Aromatic Bitters |
