green tomato leaf martini


Nothing in the world smells better to me than green tomato leaves-- and I have tried unsuccessfully for years to infuse that smell into vodka. I finally realized that by muddling them in the drink a little and garnishing with leaves the scent comes through much better. So I made a dirty gin martini (I don't really like vodka except as a base for infusions) added plenty of tomato leaves and finished it off with a little pickled green tomato.
