Introducing the Full Irish Breakfast cocktail!!

Here at Barnacles Hostels we encourage our guests to try new things and here is our latest.....

Have you ever tried a meat based cocktail?? Does the thought of one make your tummy flip and not in a good way?? Hold on ...don't stop reading just yet...this one is going to be interesting!!

Anyone can eat bacon for breakfast but can you drink bacon for breakfast!

The Full Irish Breakfast Cocktail is a totally new and unusual experience. In England, Michelin-starred chef Heston Blumenthal has had a hit on his hands with bacon and egg ice-cream (Gasp!!) so why not a bacon and egg cocktail??

For many, many years the Bloody Mary has been a great friend to those looking for something the morning after the night before. Maybe in years to come the Full Irish Breakfast will be too!

Ready to give it a try?? Here is what you will need.....

1.5 shots of pancetta infused Jameson's Irish Whiskey

1 shot of Advocatt egg liquer (if egg liquer is not your thing you can add a shot of egg white instead)

0.5 shot of maple syrup

0.5 shot of lemon juice

How to get the Pancetta infused Jameson?

Pan fry 3 slices of pancetta and when it is cooked, dry it with a paper napkin to remove excess grease (you see we're being healthy here). After the Pancetta has cooled down, put it into a jar with 0.5 litre of Jameson's. Let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for 2 days. Scoop out the fat which will have settled at the top of the jar and fine strain the mixture with a cloth napkin or a coffee filter. Once strained, you can store the infused pancetta in the fridge for a long time.

Directions:

Fill up your martini glass with ice so it will be chilled and ready for your drink

Put ice cubes in your cocktail glass and add all ingredients mentioned above

Shake vigorously

Fine strain the cocktail mixture into your chilled martini glass

Garnish with a lemon twist

Followed all the steps? All that's left to do is drink it! Best of luck and if you try this cocktail please let us know what you thought....is it the cure to all hangovers?
