Flavors

The BLT Cocktail combines the classic flavors of bacon, lettuce and tomato into one unique drink. It features a smoky-sweetness that is perfectly balanced with a hint of tanginess from freshly squeezed lemon juice.

The sweetness comes from simple syrup, which adds depth to the cocktail. Try maple syrup instead to create  an interesting flavor profile that will tantalize your taste buds. The bacon garnish provides a salty crunch to contrast with the sweet and tangy elements in the drink.

This contemporary cocktail also includes vodka for its smooth texture and herbal complexity – it helps to bring out all the other flavors in this unique blend. A dash of Worcestershire sauce gives it an umami punch while celery bitters add a subtle earthiness that really ties everything together. All these elements come together beautifully in this inventive cocktail, creating an experience you won’t soon forget!

3 Tips for Making Your BLT Cocktail

• Crispy bacon is a perfect garnish for this drink.
• Obtain high-quality ingredients; fresh herbs such as basil and oregano will make the cocktail taste much better than dried herbs or pre-made seasonings.
• If using Bloody Mary mix instead of tomato juice, opt for one that is low in sodium so that you can control your own seasoning levels when mixing the drink together.
