Instructions

Description: The Velvet Verdure Zest is a refreshing, savory mocktail that combines the crisp taste of green bell pepper with the tangy sweetness of apple and the zing of fresh ginger, all muddled together to create a complex flavor profile that's both invigorating and satisfying. The drink is balanced with a touch of honey to add a hint of natural sweetness, and a sparkling water base gives it a festive fizz. Perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up or as an intriguing non-alcoholic option at parties. Ingredients: - 1/2 green bell pepper, seeds removed and diced - 1/2 green apple, cored and diced - 1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled - 1 tablespoon honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option) - 1/2 lime, juiced - Fresh basil leaves (for muddling and garnish) - Crushed ice - Sparkling water - Pinch of sea salt Type of Glass: Serve in a highball glass. Instructions: 1. In a shaker, muddle the diced green bell pepper, green apple, and fresh ginger with the lime juice and honey until the flavors are well-combined and the fruits are broken down. 2. Add a few basil leaves and muddle lightly to release their aroma without turning them bitter. 3. Fill the shaker halfway with crushed ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. 4. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a highball glass filled with crushed ice, discarding the solid residue. 5. Top off with sparkling water and stir gently to combine. 6. Add a pinch of sea salt to bring out the flavors. 7. Garnish with a thin slice of green bell pepper and a fresh basil leaf on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy the unique taste of the Velvet Verdure Zest!
