Bacon Martini , also known as bacontini , pork on tocks or bloody martini bacon , is a cocktail made up of vodka bacon-infused served with an ornament that can include bacon strips, beet bacon, or olives. Variants can include the addition of Bloody Mary mix. Although not a vodka martini, consisting of vodka and vermouth, the term "bacon martini" is consistent with the trend of calling any liquor in martini "martini" glasses, such as saketini or other variations.

Origin
The meat martini was created independently by Sang Yoon, owner of the gastropub Father's Office in Santa Monica, California, and P. Moss, owner of the Double Down Saloon in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sang Yoon made his bacon martini in 1998, inspired by Bacon of the Month Club run by Grateful Palate in Fairfield, California. P. Moss seems to have made up his bacon martini that same year. Sang Yoon's version of the drink uses juniper-cured bacon, while P. Moss's method calls for hickory bacon.

Get started
To make bacon martini, vodka needs to be prepared beforehand through a process called leaching of fat. This is done by soaking the pieces of cooked meat in vodka and trying to remove the fat, similar to the process of marinating meat before cooking. Drinks are ready when the liquid becomes filmed and opaque. At the Double Down Saloon in the East Village in New York City, a meat martini is made by filtering bacon-infused vodka through the flake ice and serving it in a martini glass with a piece of meat at the bottom, similar to a worm in a bottle of mezcal.
Taste
The barton martini taste is similar to a vodka martini, but with a more spicy and salty bacon and a sharp "hot" taste. According to the owner of the saloon, pork fat reacts with vodka to give the drink a unique flavor. Reviews on drinks have varied, with one drinker comparing it to Castrol motor oil, and a bacon enthusiast saying it is a satisfying and delicious drink on many levels. A club in San Francisco sells bacon martini with bourbon instead of vodka (which is actually Mitch Morgan), arguing that the vodka absorbs too much charcoal.
