This savory, fresh, and colorful drink was inspired by Adam Seger of Nacional 27. It has its roots in the Bloody Mary but skips the vodka, subbing in cachaça, a distant cousin of rum. Raid the summer garden for cherry tomatoes and basil in season!

Recipe information

  • Yield

    1 drink

Ingredients

3 or 4 cherry tomatoes
2 wedges lime
2 to 4 fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
