BLT Cocktail at PX
Leave it up to a faux speakeasy to develop a bacon-infused evening cocktail. The quirky drink menu at Alexandria’s PX features a BLT Cocktail, a zesty mix of bacon-infused vodka, tomato water and iceberg lettuce ice.
Don’t be ashamed if you have no idea what any of those ingredients mean. Here’s a quick translation: For “bacon-infused vodka,” PX adds bacon fat to vodka, freezes it, and when the fat rises to the top of the bottle, skims it off. The “tomato water” is relatively self-explanatory (mostly clear with a faint reddish tinge), but “lettuce ice?” The bartender literally juices iceberg lettuce and freezes it for the ice cube.
Admit it, you’re a little curious.
Damage: $13 (available starting in June, when tomatoes are back in season)

I love bacon but I'm not too sure about this drink... Might have to try it out one evening... :-)

All these bacon dishes sound amazing! I want to try each one, starting first with the BLT cocktail. Bacon makes everything in life better!
