Servings: 1 cocktail
Calories: 138kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cherry tomatoes sliced
- 2 fresh basil leaves
- 2-3 flat leaf parsley leaves
- 5 ounces California Pinot Noir
- 3 ounces tomato water
- Dash of sea salt
- Ice
- Garnish: tomato + basil + fresh mozzarella on toothpick
- *make a “Spicy Farmers Market” by adding 3 slices of fresh jalapeno or serrano pepper
Instructions
- Add the cherry tomatoes to the bottom of a wineglass or tumbler. Place the basil and parsley leaves in the palm of your hand and clap loudly once. (This releases the natural oils and flavor from the herbs.) Add the herbs to the glass.
- Fill the glass with ice. Top with the wine and tomato water. Add a scant dash of sea salt and stir to combine.
- Garnish with the tomato + basil + mozzarella toothpick, or alternatively with a sliced cherry tomato and basil leaf.
Notes
Make the tomato water a day or two before.
*Spicy Farmers Market note: the longer the peppers sit in the drink, the spicier it will get. It's got more real pepper flavor than true heat at the beginning.
