Absinthe.com.au has received the first suggestion for an unholy alliance of absinthe and bacon vodka… yes, people. Un Cochon Vert is one step closer to hideous, chthonic existence.

Late last week I received a message via the Book of Face from Josh Shipton, a dear friend who also happens to be the criminally insane yet bodhisattva-like musical nutjob behind Lecter Macabre, Meat Safe and Triangle - three of the most interesting and original experimental acts in the country today, if I do say so myself.

Josh Shipton being his usual convivial self at a Meat Safe gig.

He writes, “my wife and I have toyed around with the idea of a Bacon Alexander…perhaps it can be altered for your purposes”, stressing that it was his wife, the lovely (yet obviously mentally unhinged) Mel Bligh who first put the words “bacon” and “Alexander” together. So, perhaps something along the lines of…

• One part Absinthe
• One part Bacon Vodka
• One part Dark Crème de Cacao
• One part crushed ice
• Single Cream
• Nutmeg

Decant into a martini glass and garnish with two small slices of crispy bacon crossed across the top.

Attractive, yet horrifying. I like it.
