Bacon-Infused Tequila
· 3 parts Sauza® Blue Reposado 100% Agave Tequila
· 1 quart canning jar
· 1 pound of bacon

Margarita
· 1 part frozen limeade
· 1 part water
· 1 ½ parts light beer

Bacon- Infused Tequila Preparation: Cook the bacon in a frying pan until it is crisp and the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon and let drain on a plate with paper towels. Remove the liquid fat from the pan and strain, set aside to cool. Sterilize your canning jar in boiling water. Fill clean jar with 3 cups Sauza® Blue Reposado. Once the fat has cooled slightly add it to the container. Finally add 2 pieces of the cooked bacon. Seal the jar and set to infuse for five days in your refrigerator. The fat and liquid will separate.
When you are ready to use your Bacon-Infused Tequila, skim the fat from the top and strain through a double cheese cloth. Set aside 1 ½ parts of Bacon-Infused Tequila to use for your margarita, and store the rest in the refrigerator for later use.

Margarita Preparation: Combine 1 ½ parts of Bacon-Infused Tequila, frozen limeade, water and light beer. Stir gently and enjoy!
