Bacon and Eggs... cocktail, please!

Don't worry, you're not going crazy. The title reads: Bacon and Eggs COCKTAIL. Restaurants have been playing off the gourmet comfort food for... well, forever. In the past years, however, I've come across a lot of savory cocktails on restaurant menus. There also seems to be some sort of obsession with bacon. I've come across various bacon-flavored products that range from gum, to chips, to toothpaste! Yes, your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, or roommate can wake up to your smokey bacon breath! Woohoo! 


This specific Bacon and Eggs cocktail is offered at New York's Whiskey Blue. The cocktail, served "sunny side up" (get it?!), features whipped eggs mixed in with a shot of bourbon and smoked bacon. When I first read about this cocktail, I imagined that in the place of a celery stick or swizzle stick, there would be a crispy piece of bacon! Lo and behold, that's exactly what it has! 

In addition to the Bacon and Eggs cocktail, they serve a Blueberry Scone cocktail, as well as a Waffle and Maple Syrup cocktail. As you might have assumed, the liquid comfort foods run for about the same price as the actual comfort foods -- $16. 


So, instead of ordering a Bloody Mary or Mimosa at brunch, why not just go all out and get a Bacon and Egg cocktail to go with your... bacon and eggs?
