Bacon-Infused Vodka Bloody Mary

The sky is the limit when it comes to creative twists on the classic Bloody Mary, but we’re especially fond of making ours with bacon-infused vodka. And no Bloody Mary is complete without a delectable garnish, like our Applewood Smoked Country Bacon or Pickled Okra.
