Did you drink your veggies today?
As featured in the January/February issue of Vegas Magazine (“How green is our valley”), Southern Wine and Spirits’ director of mixology Armando Rosario’s liquid antipasto captures all the flavor of a nice plate of Italian bruschetta ... sans plate.
Crop also makes a bright, organic cucumber vodka as well as a traditional organic artisanal vodka. Try Crop Tomato for a bloodier Bloody Mary.
Ingredients:
2.5 oz. Crop Organic Tomato Vodka
Splash of Cinzano Dry Vermouth
2-3 fresh basil leaves
1 fresh cherry tomato, halved
Method:
Lightly muddle basil in a mixing glass. Add ice, vodka and vermouth; shake vigorously and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Drop in tomato halves.
