My concern is pragmatic: does the grease come off the bacon and into the vodka?

If so, gross.

If you then chill the vodka, you could get rid of any bacon fat I would think. And that would be the most interesting piece of bacon you’d ever eat.

One of the methods for infusing bacon flavor is to pour warm bacon drippings into a bowl with the vodka (or bourbon, etc.) and stir. The grease floats to the top, so you can chill the bowl and lift off the fat before pouring into a storage bottle. Not the best method (I tried it); the prominent flavor wasn't bacon-y. More like the fat from a pork roast. I ended up using that bottle to soak the barbeque charcoal before lighting - waste not, want not.

The correct way is to fry up a pound of bacon, drain it, then soak it in the spirit for a week or two. That method pulls out the smoked, salty meat flavor and minimizes the greasy taste.
