The infused alcohol can be sipped but is typically used in mixed drinks such as the Bloody Mary or bacon martini.

Egg Yolk
Among animals which produce eggs, the yolk (; also known as the vitellus) is the nutrient-bearing portion of the egg whose primary function is to supply food for the development of the embryo. Some types of egg contain no yolk, for example because they are laid in situations where the food supply is sufficient (such as in the body of the host (biology), host of a parasitoid) or because the embryo develops in the parent's body, which supplies the food, usually through a placenta. Reproductive systems in which the mother's body supplies the embryo directly are said to be matrotrophy, matrotrophic; those in which the embryo is supplied by yolk are said to be lecithotrophy, lecithotrophic. In many species, such as all birds, and most reptiles and insects, the yolk takes the form of a special storage organ constructed in the reproductive system, reproductive tract of the mother.
