The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.


2 tablespoons bourbon
3 tablespoons minced green onions
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
24 large scallops
12 slices bacon, cut in half
Combine the bourbon, onions, maple syrup, soy sauce, mustard, pepper, and scallops in a bowl or other container. Mix gently to combine and coat the scallops in the bourbon sauce. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the broiler.
Remove the scallops from the bourbon sauce, reserving the sauce.
Wrap one piece of bacon around each scallop. Thread the wrapped scallops on skewers (or secure with a toothpick). Place the scallops on a broiler pan. Place in the oven and broil for 7-8 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade every few minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the scallops are opaque and cooked through.
Serve hot.

Great recipe! Easy to make and delicious. I actually used turkey bacon. The bourbon really adds a great flavor to the dish.
