Ingredients:
8-12 thin slices bell pepper
6-8 basil leaves
2 – 2.5 oz. vodka
2 – 2.5 oz. citrus juice (any combination of lemon, orange, lime, grapefruit, clementine… your choice)
2 oz. club soda
Capful vanilla extract
ice
Instructions:
Makes 2 drinks.
I like using a shaker and muddler for this, but use whatever you have on hand (any glass or two and a wooden spoon will do).
Add the sliced pepper and basil with the citrus juice to the shaker and muddle it together.Basically just smash it all together. Let it sit for a minute or two.
Fill the shaker with ice, then add the vodka, vanilla extract, lid and shake it.
Pour in a cold glass… I like a few ice cubes in my drink, up to you, I just always forget to put a glass in the freezer the day before.
Top it off with club soda.
