Continue to bake until bacon is just crisp, about 8-10 more minutes. Let cool.
  2. Crumble bacon slice into small pieces; let cool, then mix with Caesar rimmer in a shallow dish.
  3. Rub top rim of a 12 oz. Colin’s glass and dip into bacon Ceasar rimmer to coat. Fill glass to about 3/4 full with ice. Add lemon juice, two dashes each Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce. Top with Clamato, stir gently o combine ingredients and serve with bacon-wrapped olives.

 

Note

To make a simple homemade Caesar rimmer, combine 1 Tbsp. each Kosher or coarse sea salt, celery salt and freshly cracked pepper with 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper. You can also add garlic powder and onion powder for extra flavour.

 

For the bacon enthusiast, garnish with a full strip of crispy bacon.
