Ingredients

  • 4 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 small fresh mozzarella cheese ball
  • 1 cherry tomato
  • 1/4 cup vodka (2 oz)
  • 1/3 cup tomato juice
  • Dash salt
  • Ice cubes

Steps

  • 1
    Wrap 1 of the basil leaves around mozzarella ball. Thread mozzarella and cherry tomato on cocktail pick or skewer; set aside for garnish.
  • 2
    Add vodka and remaining 3 basil leaves to cocktail shaker; use muddler or wooden spoon to muddle basil, releasing its flavor into vodka.
  • 3
    Add tomato juice, salt and enough ice to fill shaker; shake until well chilled. Pour into ice-filled glass (discard basil from shaker). Add garnish.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Instead of the mozzarella and tomato garnish, simply garnish the cocktail with a basil leaf on the side of the glass.
  • tip 2
    To make this for a crowd, multiply the ingredients per number of guests and use a pitcher instead of a cocktail shaker for mixing. Refrigerate until guests arrive, and pour the cocktails into ice-filled glasses just before serving.
