Mitch Morgan

Outside Telluride

In 2008 Mitch Morgans were sold at a fund-raising event hosted at a night club in Seattle, Washington. The drinks consisted of Maker's Mark bourbon and bacon from the "Bacon is Meat Candy Bacon Club." While the bacon was cooking, curious customers asked why the club smelled like bacon. The fund-raiser sold over 500 Mitch Morgans, with customers requesting additional slices of the "gourmet bacon" to complement their drink.

Varieties on the theme

The Mitch Morgan is not the only combination of liquor and bacon. Riding the wave of recent bacon mania, Colum Egan, the master distiller for Bushmills, issued a challenge to bartenders in New York City, for Saint Patrick's Day in 2008, to concoct drinks based on the traditional Irish breakfast, which of course includes bacon. Two drinks were singled out by the New York Times: Jim Meehan of PDT made a drink which consisted of bacon-infused Bushmills combined with maple syrup, orange and lemon juice, and a whole egg; Eben Freeman of Tailor employed bacon-infused Bushmills, served with roasted tomato gele squares, a poached quail egg yolk, Irish breakfast-tea foam, and crispy black-pudding bits.

Inspiration for Bacon Salt

Justin Esch (one of the founders of J-D's Down Home Enterprises) was listening to his brother discuss the Mitch Morgan with a table of Jewish people who followed a kosher diet. The drink got Esch thinking about the appeal of bacon and how the flavor could be captured without the dietary issues, resulting in the development of Bacon Salt.
