FIrst - choose one -

Then - choose one -  

let sit for 6 hours - strain - 
let sit for 12 hours - strain - 
let sit for 24 hours - strain
let sit forever - don't strain

I went with 400 ML of Jim Beam - added - 4 strips double-smoked bacon - cooled & broken into small bits - let sit for 24 hours in the refrigerator  - stained through fine tea strainer to remove all solids  - 

Gingerly sipped - slightly greasy - tasted just like Jim Bean - i.e - don't get it - but at least I tried -
