{"product_id":"bacon","title":"Bacon","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBacon Spirit – Smoky Caesar Spirit Handcrafted in Alberta\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nBacon 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.\r\n\r\nNaturally gluten-free and handcrafted right here in Alberta, it swaps in for vodka one-for-one in a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caesar_(cocktail)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCaesar\u003c\/a\u003e, 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.\r\n\r\nProduced 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.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Badlands Bacon Caesar\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nRim 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.\r\n\r\nThe smoke carries all the way through instead of fading after the first bite of garnish — which is the usual problem with a bacon Caesar.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eBacon Spirit Tasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nThe 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.\r\n\r\nUnlike 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.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Our Bacon Spirit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nThis 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.\r\n\r\nEvery 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.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eOther Ways to Drink It\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nThe Caesar is the main event, but this spirit works well beyond it:\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eMix into a Bloody Mary.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eAdd a splash to a michelada.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eBuild a smoky dirty martini.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eServe ice-cold straight from the freezer.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eTop with soda water and a squeeze of lemon.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eUse it in a savoury maple-forward cocktail.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\nIts smoky finish makes it a favourite for brunch, backyard barbecues, tailgates, camping trips, and hockey nights at home.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e750 mL\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e40% Alc.\/Vol.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003ePremium corn-based spirit (100% Alberta corn)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eNaturally gluten-free\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in small batches in Alberta, Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it in place of vodka in a Caesar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nYes — that's what it's built for.
