Knob Creek® Bacon Old Fashioned
If Booker Noe loved anything as much as he loved bourbon, it was probably smoked meats. That man was all about flavor. So much so that he even had his own smokehouse in his backyard. Today, as a thank you for the many offerings of a farmhouse favorite, and a tribute to Booker, we’re pairing the classic bourbon cocktail with a classic cut of pig.

• Orange Peel
• 1 ½ parts Knob Creek® Smoked Maple
• 1 Strip of **Candied Bacon
Instructions:

o Reserve the other half for making Candied Bacon (recipe below)
• Combine bacon pieces, brown sugar simple syrup and bitters to a cocktail shaker
• Add ice to the cocktail shake and proceed to shake about a dozen times
• Double strain the mixture into a low ball glass with fresh ice removing the bacon pieces
• Add Knob Creek® Smoked Maple Bacon and stir till the drink is cold
*Brown Sugar Simple Syrup
Ingredients
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup water
Instructions
• Combine the brown sugar and water into a small sauce span
