Beautiful Red Bell Cocktail
Description: This refreshing summer cocktail is made with red bell pepper, basil, gin and lime. This recipe was inspired by Manifesto in Kansas City, MO.
Ingredients
- ⅓ of a medium red bell pepper, sliced into two-inch long strips
- 5 to 6 fresh basil leaves
- ½ lime, juiced
- 1 ½ ounces gin
- ½ to 1 teaspoons agave nectar or simple syrup
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, combine red pepper, basil and lime juice. Muddle until the red pepper is thoroughly smashed (it shouldn’t have any crunch left).
