Tomato Gin Cobbler With Peaches And Basil Recipe
- :
- 16 ounces (about one large) beefsteak tomato, cut into large chunks
- 1 cup dry gin, such as beefeater
- :
- 1/3 cup fresh diced peaches (about 1/2 a small peach)
- 8 medium basil leaves
- 3 ounces tomato gin
- 1/4 ounce lemon juice, from 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Additional peach slices, for garnish
- Additional basil leaves, for garnish
- : Combine the tomato and gin in a blender. Pulse a few times on medium to break up the tomato then blend for about 5 more seconds to form a pulpy puree. Strain the puree through a very fine mesh strainer or a less fine one lined with a double layer of cheesecloth. Stir it gently a few times as it strains, but do not press. Strain until it stops dripping on its own, about 15 minutes. Store in the fridge if not using immediately.
- : Muddle the peaches, basil leaves, and sugar in the bottom of a cocktail shaker until the peaches form a chunky puree. Fill the shaker with ice and add the tomato gin and lemon juice. Shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain into an ice filled old fashioned glass and garnish with plenty of additional basil and peach slices.
