A Martini Fit For Morning

Bacon lovers, this one's for you! Maple whiskey, coffee and bacon combine for a unique martini that you can even pass off as a breakfast cocktail. It doesn't get much better than that.

We've all had those mornings when coffee just isn't enough, but a martini in the morning seems a little extreme. Not anymore! With a cocktail full of coffee, maple and bacon, you've never had a better excuse to drink a martini before noon. You can practically call it breakfast!

Bacon, coffee & maple whiskey martini recipe

Don't be tempted to skip the bacon garnish. Leave it in your martini like a swizzle stick while you drink and eat the martini-soaked bacon when you've finished your cocktail. Bacon never tasted so good!

Martinis are not only made with gin,traditional ones are made with vodka also.….....and I would rim this one with finely crushed bacon. Gotta try this!

I would say my husband would probably love this. I definitely would NOT. I like bacon, but not in a drink!

Of course its not a "real" martini, just as all the mixology cocktails being sold as martinis everywhere are not, but this is the nrw age of cocktails and sounds delish. Made it this morning and love it! There is nothing too sweet about it unless you find maple kissed whiskey too sweet, since the maple syrup is added only to taste. Delish!

This actually sounds way too sweet. Granted I am not a fan of super sweet drinks. Lastly there is nothing about this that makes it a Martini ( which is made of Gin ) or to a previous comment a Mimosa ( OJ & Champagne ).

This is like the guy version of a Mimosa... I will have to suggest this to my fiance for the morning of our wedding, he can make these for his guys while I make Mimosas for the girls!
