Caprese Cocktail

Directions

1. 1
   Place the sauce screen in the basket of the KitchenAid(R) Maximum Extraction Juicer. Add the tomatoes to the hopper and process. Line a colander or strainer with two layers of cheesecloth. Place it over a bowl or large glass measuring cup. Add the tomato mixture to the colander. Gather sides of cheesecloth to form a sack. Tie the top of the cheesecloth. Let the tomato water drip into the bowl for at least six hours or overnight. You should get at least one cup of a clear liquid. Clean out juicer for next use.
2. 2
   Place the low pulp screen in the basket of the KitchenAid(R) Maximum Extraction Juicer. Juice the leaves of the basil until you get 2 tablespoons of juice.
3. 3
   Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add one cup of the tomato water, 2 tablespoons of basil juice, the vodka and a dash of sea salt. Squeeze the juice from the lemon into the shaker. Shake the mixture so it is well chilled and blended. Adjust with more salt if necessary.
