Directions
For the Bacon Infused Vodka:
Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line baking tray with aluminum foil and place bacon on tray. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked but not very crispy.
Place bacon and bacon fat into large mason jar; pour in vodka. Screw lid on tight and place in fridge to infuse for at least 5 days before using.
For the Bloody Mary Mix:
Place all ingredients in blender and blend well.
For the Bloody Mary:
Fill two glasses with ice. Pour 2 ounces vodka and 4-6 ounces Bloody Mary mix into each glass. Stir well; add lime juice to taste.
For the Waffle Grilled Cheese Topper:
Heat your oven to 350˚F.
Place waffles on baking tray. Place half slice of cheese on each waffle. Place 2 slices of Canadian Bacon on two waffles; top each with another half slice of cheese.
Place 2 sausage patties on two different waffles; top each with remaining half slices of cheese. Bake until cheese is melted; about 5–8 minutes.
Immediately assemble grilled cheese sandwiches. Top Canadian bacon waffle with sausage patty waffle, then with cheese waffle.
To serve with bloody Mary, place each waffle grilled cheese on a skewer and place on top of bloody mary. Serve immediately.
