I know this sounds gross but for bacon lovers out there it is the holy grail of alcohol. Bacon cocktails should be all the rage and I figured I'd share with you the two spots I go to for my bacon/booze fix.

Farmers and Fishers in Gtown waterfront has the "Bone" which is a bacon bourbon infused cocktail. And yes all the food is local and fantastic and if you're looking for a match let me tell you I love partnering "Bone" with the chicken lollipops or any of there 4 varieties of tacos (try the apple, chicken and goat cheese)

The other spot is where I go for my bacon fix during the weekend brunch and that is Co Co. Sala. Not only do they have the most visually appealing brunch in the DMV but it takes care of my sweet/savory/spicy tooth all in one. I get myself the breakfast flat bread (which doesn't take 20 minutes to make so don't be scared by the menu) and then I chase it down with a house made bloody mary made with bacon infused vodka!!! SOOOOOOO GOOD and if that's not enough you can always order a side of chocolate covered bacon.

PS:Here is where to buy some bacon flavored vodka or just make it at home

Also after writing this blog the first time I found out that Eola has a bacon flight!!! You know what a wine/beer flight is? It's a small tasting of a bunch of varieties of beer/wine so insert bacon and you have utter genius!! Chef Singhofen has house cured 4 varieties of pork belly (cold smoking for 24 hours) and will serve them side by side so you can see the difference between fat/meat ratio and how the different heritage pigs taste. Served during brunch (which officially starts this Sunday) Eola is definitely gonna be on my must try list

Now you can look especially douchie with this polo featuring the "Polo" logo being mounted by a horse hahahahahahahaha Now you know what to get me for my birthday

This week I have fallen in love!! And I'm in love with Cocksicles and Poptails...

Two different DC area restaurants are offering frozen-esque cocktails for your summer drinking pleasure.

Potenza in DC a small plates Italian concept is rolling out their ******icles which are literally popsicles made with liquor!!! What better way to get drunk and keep cool at the same time.

Now on the opposite spectrum of it all is St Ex (a neighborhood bar in the U St Corridor) which is probably more known for their rock roots, but recently has gone through a metamorphosis bringing in a damn good chef who serves everything from chicken confit sliders to burgers to black cod, but that's not even the coolest part!! Remember Freeze Pops from when you were a kid?? You know the plastic tube thing with frozen sugar water you devoured as a child!!! Well, they have mastered that technique and added an adult twist to them with gin and St Germain (soooooo good)

So make sure this summer you are staying hydrated and keeping cool at the same time with any of these great spots
