The ultimate cocktail for every meal! Why have a mimosa or bloody mary when bacon could be in every component of brunch. Beer for lunch? Who needs it when your cocktail pairs perfectly with your bacon burger. Wine for dinner? Not when you're having a bacon wrapped filet and need the perfect drink to match.
