Bartenders looking for greater Intellectual Property Rights on drink recipes - link
<...>
After the seminar, I spoke to Freeman, who admitted he came up with the idea for the talk after becoming fed up with other bartenders and establishments taking credit for and profiting from his recipes and techniques. (Fat washing, for example, the process by which a spirit can be infused with, say, bacon, was pioneered in part by Freeman, yet is often attributed to others.) "Someone needs to get sued ... to set a precedent," he told me.

"In no other creative business can you so easily identify money attached to your creative property," Freeman went on. "There is an implied commerce to our intellectual property. Yet we have less protection than anyone else."

Bacon Vodka - link

Makes one pint

*Take some of your favorite bacon, and fry up about three strips. Or fry up bacon scraps if you wish.
*Add the cooked bacon to a squeaky clean pint sized mason jar.
For an extra kick, you can also add black peppercorns.
*Pour your fav vodka in the jar. Screw on the lid and place in a dark place for at least three weeks.(Refrigeration not necessary)
*At the end of the three weeks, put the jar in the freezer to solidify the fats. Strain out the fats through a coffee filter. You will now have a clear filtered pale yellow bacon vodka.
*Pour into a decorative bottle to give as a gift, or just drink it right from the jar.
Yeah baby!

As it's for personal use I don't see myself getting sued.
