Ginger, maple and bourbon roll on your tongue while you fight the urge to just eat the bacon garnish first in this cocktail by Jerry Nevins from his book, Sloshies: 102 Boozy Cocktails Straight from the Freezer (Workman, $14.95).

This recipe originally appeared as part of You're Going to Need Frozen Cocktails This Summer. These 3 Are the Ones to Make.

3 1/4 oz Buffalo Trace Kentucky straight bourbon
27 oz Ginger ale
2 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth de Chambéry
2 3/4 oz Cabin Fever maple flavored whiskey
Garnish: Bacon strip

Makes 4.
Add all the ingredients in a medium-size metal bowl and stir.
Pour the liquid into a large freezer bag, and place it in the freezer until frozen for approximately 4 hours.
When ready to drink, massage the freezer bag by hand until it’s a wet, slushy consistency. If it’s not breaking up, run the bag quickly under hot water and massage some more.
Divide among four Old Fashioned or rocks glasses.
Garnish each glass with a strip of crispy bacon.
