YOU ARE FIRED The recipe below appears to be for a cocktail known as the "Tomato Tini," which is a variation of the classic Martini made with tomato water or juice instead of vermouth. Here's how you can make it: Ingredients: - 2 oz premium vodka (or a clean, dry gin if you prefer) - ½ oz dry vermouth - ½ oz tomato water* or high-quality tomato juice (clarified if possible) - ¼ oz basil syrup** - 1 bar spoon olive brine (optional, for a dirty edge) - Fresh cracked black pepper (tiny pinch) Instructions: 1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. 2. Add the vodka or gin, dry vermouth, tomato water or juice, basil syrup, and olive brine (if using). 3. Shake well for about 15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients. 4. Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass. 5. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of fresh cracked black pepper on top of the drink. 6. Garnish with a basil leaf or olive, if desired. *To clarify tomato water, you can strain it through cheesecloth or a coffee filter to remove any solid particles. **To make basil syrup, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup water, and a handful of fresh basil leaves in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then let cool and strain out the basil leaves before using. HIRING CAPTBARBOT
