Bourbon & Bacon

Bold spirits. Crispy meat. Southern perfection.

This isn’t just a cookbook—it’s a full-blown Southern joyride built around two things that have never let anyone down: bourbon and bacon. Morgan Murphy brings together 140 recipes that range from cocktails and punches to mains, sides, and desserts, all built to deliver big flavor without overcomplicating things.

Alongside the food, you’ll find whiskey ratings covering more than 75 bottles, plus distillery stops, behind-the-scenes stories, and enough bacon knowledge to make you dangerous in any kitchen or around any grill. It’s the kind of book that lives on the counter, gets splattered a little, and somehow keeps getting better because of it.
