Instructions
Combine the tomato and gin in a blender. Pulse a few times on medium to break up the tomato then blend for about 5 more seconds to form a pulpy puree. Strain the puree through a very fine mesh strainer or a less fine one lined with a double layer of cheesecloth. Stir it gently a few times as it strains, but do not press. Strain until it stops dripping on its own, about 15 minutes. Store in the fridge if not using immediately.
For the Tomato Gin Cobbler: Muddle the peaches, basil leaves, and sugar in the bottom of a cocktail shaker until the peaches form a chunky puree. Fill the shaker with ice and add the tomato gin and lemon juice. Shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain into an ice filled old fashioned glass and garnish with plenty of additional basil and peach slices.
Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel
Southern works really well with Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel. In general, there are a few rules that will help you pair wine with southern food. Food-friendly riesling or sparkling white wine will work with many fried foods, while zinfandel is great with barbecued fare. One wine you could try is Forge Cellars Classique Riesling. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 21 dollars.
