La Caridad

• 8 thin slices Persian, English, or hothouse cucumber
• 2 teaspoons Sriracha
• 4 fluid ounces (1/2 cup) Crop Organic Tomato Vodka
• 2 fluid ounces (1/4 cup) dry gin
• 8 drops orange bitters

1. In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, muddle 4 of the cucumber slices.
2. Add the Sriracha, vodka, gin, and bitters.
3. Add a handful of ice cubes and shake feverishly.
4. Strain into four chilled martini glasses.
5. Garnish each glass with one of the remaining 4 slices of cucumber and serve.
6. Chris made my drink with Crop Organic Tomato Vodka (and a mighty fine drink it was).
7. Crop Organic is a small artisan producer, and its distribution is limited.
8. If you cant find a bottle, worry notwe can make our own damn tomato vodka!
9. In a large glass jar, combine 1 pound of ripe tomatoes, cut into quarters, with a 750-milliliter bottle of vodka (preferably distilled from wheat or grain).
10. Toss in 3 black peppercorns and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 5 to 8 days, stirring and tasting daily (I know, I know, its tough work, but somebody has to do it!
11. ), until you have the tomato flavor you seek.
12. Pour the contents of the jar through a fine-mesh strainer, discarding the tomatoes and peppercorns.
13. Pour the vodka back into its original bottle for storage.
