Pear Cocktail

1. 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. 2

   Bake until it's as crisp as you'd like, about 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Let cool.

4. 4

   Make the cocktail: Combine the rum, pear nectar, lemon juice, bitters and salt in a cocktail shaker with ice.

5. 5

   Shake well and pour into a lowball glass.

6. 6

   Garnish with a slice of candied bacon.
