OK nobody laugh - but I found this old you tube someone sent me and it is a Woodford Bourbon Manhattan made in a special way (sounds like a lot of trouble but... it also sounds really good.) You can't call it LC but this IS a bacon thread

And my writing down what he said:

Woodford Smoked Maple Bacon Manhattan

Take bacon, sweet vermouth, maple syrup, bitters and put in a smoker for awhile, then put in cooler.
All the fat comes to the top and it leaves a nice syrup.

1 oz smoked maple bacon syrup
2 oz Woodford Bourbon

Pour in big glass – add ice cubes and give it a good stir. Stir it for a good while. “Candy” some bacon for a garnish.

Put fresh ice in a tumbler glass and strain the mixture into it. Add candied bacon garnish and serve.
