THE GOOD STUFF

Ingredients

LET'S MAKE IT

Step by step

  1. Muddle chopped tomato and basil with salt.
  2. Shake with gin, lemon, optional brine and ice.
  3. Double-strain into a chilled coupe, top with pepper and basil.
A few notes: adjust sweetness to taste, refrigerate homemade syrups and follow the manufacturer’s directions for specialty tools. Use pasteurized egg products where applicable.

A smoother pour.

A Bar Above Fine Mesh Cocktail Strainer (304 stainless steel) makes double-straining muddled herbs, citrus pulp, and small seeds easy.

A finishing mist.

A 30 ml refillable Cocktail Atomizer Spray Bottle can add a light aromatic mist of vermouth or bitters to a chilled martini glass. Use it as an optional presentation technique, not a required recipe step.
