Bree Pepper Blossom

I will always be a wine lover, but there are times that call for my favorite gin martini or even a creative concoction from one of my favorite mixologists.

So, this, my dear Bree, is a dedication and thank you to YOU and your creativity.

Bree Pepper Blossom

2 large slices fresh jalapeño pepper
1/2 oz. St. Germain liqueur
2 oz. Grey Goose vodka
2 oz. fresh grapefruit juice
ice
1 large fresh basil leaf

Combine the St. Germain, vodka, ice, and grapefruit juice in a large cocktail shaker. 

Shake until ice cold.

Place the jalapeño slices at the bottom of a serving glass. 

Strain the ice and pour it into the glass. 

Smack the basil leaf between your palms to release the aromas and gently place it on top of the drink. 

Sip and savor.
