Pear Cocktail

• 6 slices hickory-smoked bacon
• 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
• 1 1/2 ounces aged rum
• 3 1/2 ounces pear nectar
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 to 3 drops old-fashioned bitters
• Pinch of salt

1. Make the candied bacon: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Toss the bacon in a bowl with the brown sugar and place on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet so the fat drips down.
2. Bake until it's as crisp as you'd like, about 30 minutes.
3. Let cool.
4. Make the cocktail: Combine the rum, pear nectar, lemon juice, bitters and salt in a cocktail shaker with ice.
5. Shake well and pour into a lowball glass.
6. Garnish with a slice of candied bacon.
