Step 1

In a cocktail shaker, combine red pepper, basil and lime juice. Muddle thoroughly, until the red pepper is thoroughly smashed. It shouldn’t have any crunch left to it.

Step 2

Add gin and lots of ice. Put on the lid and shake like crazy.

Step 3

Strain and pour into a chilled martini glass.

Step 4

Fall in love with the beautiful red bell.

Chef’s notes

This cocktail is inspired by Manifesto in Kansas City, Missouri, known for its bespoke cocktails.

The muddled bell peppers and basil temper the pine taste of gin, making it strong but not overpowering.

Ideal for summertime when basil and bell peppers are in season.
