  • The "Perfect" Pepper
    votes 1 Entered by Julie

    6 cups (3 oz.) Roasted Pepper-infused* Square
    One Organic Vodka
    1 cup ( ½ oz.) Martini & Rossi dry vermouth
    1 cup ( ½ oz.) M & R sweet vermouth
    48 organic Kalamata olives

    • To make Roasted Pepper-infused Square One Organic Vodka :

    -Roast 6-8 medium sized organic sweet red bell peppers and 3 or 4 organic Serrano chilies.
    -Remove skins, tops, and seeds (Serrano seeds can be left in if you like a lot of heat) and place roasted peppers in a glass container with an airtight lid. Add 2 (750 mL) bottles of Square One Organic Vodka. Close lid, agitate, and store for 2-3 days.
    -After 2 or 3 days (whenever the pepper flavor has become intense enough), strain the roasted pepper-infused Square One organic vodka through a fine strainer.

    For the pitcher-ready version, mix all ingredients using the first set of measurements (measurements in parenthesis are for a single serving). Mix thoroughly. To serve, shake ½ cup of the mixture with ice (from filtered water) for each serving; serve up in a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with organic kalamata olives.

    (This should replace my first version of the “Perfect” Pepper.)

    Elixir

    1 c (1T.) fresh organic ginger, peeled and sliced
    4 c (2 oz.) Square One Organic Vodka

     Muddle 1 cup of ginger (not gently!) in a pint glass.
     Thoroughly mix (using a long-handled spoon) all ingredients in a pitcher.

    (If making a single serving, use second set of measurements. Muddle the ginger in a pint glass and add remaining ingredients into the glass.)

     To serve: Shake (½ cup of Elixir) with filtered-source ice; serve up in a chilled martini glass. Float fresh organic blueberries on top (dried organic goji berries are a nice substitute when blueberries are not in season). Salud!
