Bacon Spirit is built for the brunch Caesar that arrives with a strip hanging off the rim. Made from our premium corn-based spirit, it brings smoky, savoury depth straight into the glass — so the smoke runs through the whole drink instead of sitting on top as a garnish.
Naturally gluten-free and handcrafted right here in Alberta, it swaps in for vodka one-for-one in a Caesar, a Bloody Mary, or a michelada. Whether it’s Sunday brunch, a backyard barbecue, or a hockey night at home, this is the bottle people remember.
Produced in small batches at Badlands Distillery, each bottle reflects our commitment to quality ingredients, careful craftsmanship, and memorable flavour. Made in Alberta using premium ingredients, it’s one of our boldest handcrafted spirits.
Rim a tall glass with celery salt and fill with ice. Add 2 oz Bacon Spirit, 4 oz Clamato, three dashes of hot sauce, and two dashes of Worcestershire. Stir and garnish with a strip of crisp bacon, a celery stalk, and a lime wedge.
The smoke carries all the way through instead of fading after the first bite of garnish — which is the usual problem with a bacon Caesar.
The first aroma is wood smoke, followed by savoury cured meat and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, you’ll notice rich smoky depth balanced with a clean salinity before finishing dry, savoury, and clean rather than greasy.
Unlike many novelty bottles built on a wheat base, our premium corn foundation is naturally smooth, letting the smoke come through without harsh alcohol notes. At 40% alc./vol., it sits comfortably between a chilled shot and a cocktail base.
This handcrafted bottle is made using premium corn-based spirit, making it naturally gluten-free while providing an exceptionally clean finish. Most flavoured spirits on the shelf are built on a wheat base — ours isn’t, which matters if you’re avoiding gluten.
Every bottle is produced in Alberta using small-batch methods that focus on consistency, quality, and flavour. Instead of a one-note novelty hit, our bacon spirit offers balanced smoke and salinity that holds up against Clamato, hot sauce, and a loaded garnish.
The Caesar is the main event, but this spirit works well beyond it:
Its smoky finish makes it a favourite for brunch, backyard barbecues, tailgates, camping trips, and hockey nights at home.
Yes — that’s what it’s built for. Swap it in one-for-one and keep the bacon garnish anyway.
Dill Pickle is the classic briny Caesar. Garlic brings roasted savoury depth. Peppercorn is the spicy one. Bacon is the smoky one — rich and savoury, best for brunch.
Yes. It is made from premium corn-based spirit and is naturally gluten-free.
No. It carries smoke and savoury character with a clean, dry finish — the flavour of bacon without the weight.
Bacon Spirit is bottled at 40% alc./vol. in a 750 mL bottle.
Absolutely. It’s the bottle nobody expects, which makes it a favourite for birthdays, stocking stuffers, and anyone who takes brunch seriously.
