Our Caprese Martini is a very unique and delicious cocktail. Aside from pasta, few things go better with tomatoes than basil. What we have here is a caprese salad in a cocktail glass! Though we literally mess up the tomatoes by muddling them, we completely finish them off by drowning them in gin. This is an excellent brunch cocktail. More delicate than your common tomato-based Bloody Mary, enjoy this cocktail along with the others which utilize our basil syrup. Cheers!
