Funny - I am drinking apple juice and bacon vodka right now. HOWEVER, don't waste your money on bacon flavored vodka that probably has a bunch of artificial flavors. You can easily make your own in a process called "washing". Basically you cook a bunch of bacon and use the grease to flavor it:
Vodka is incredibly efficient liquid for pulling oils out of food. I make a pepper vodka, bacon vodka, and I infuse vodka with fresh-from-the-garden rosemary and dill for the most amazingly fresh martinis!
Last night I had an Undercrown with the bacon vodka and it was perfect - the oiliness of the drink cut through the spiciness of the cigar
- Take a bunch of vodka (don't need high quality for this) and pour it into a a pitcher and make sure there's lots of space at the top as you'll be doing a bunch of stirring.
- Set it aside
- Cook up a pound or pound and a half of bacon and keep reserving the melted fat
- Once all the bacon has been cooked, eat the bacon
- Pour all of the bacon grease into the pitcher of vodka and stir well.
- Put the pitcher of vodka into the fridge and leave for about an hour or until there is a solid layer of grease on top
- Carefully remove all the congealed grease from the vodka with a slotted spoon
- Pour the pitcher of vodka (now "washed" with the bacon oils) back into the bottle, pouring through a cheese cloth to strain out any little bits of bacon that are still in the vodka.

Oh, and I just saw the ad was for bourbon, not vodka. BTW, you can use any spirit in the washing process so, even if it was an April Fool's gag, you can still easily make it.
One note - cooking that much bacon will cause a lot of smoke so make sure your range hood is adequate or do it outside!

Actually, it looks gross when you're making it because of all that grease. But you do end up removing almost all of it. What's left is this beautiful golden colored vodka. NO different than homemade chicken noodle soup where the stock, when first made, has that same layer of congealed grease.
I have heard there are a couple bars in some of the bigger cities that make thier own bacon infused burbon.
50/50 - bacon vodka and pepper vodka!

While at a bar being the designated driver for my drunk friend, a young lady had a Bloody Mary with bacon in it, along with jalapeños. I ordered her one just to try it, not half bad.
Bacon makes it better....
Bacon flavored bourbon??? Sacrilege!!! I like bacon...but the two should never be mixed.
