Bella Pepper Cocktail

This is Bella Pepper cocktail is a salute to bell peppers because they don’t get the credit they deserve. 1 cup of red bell pepper has 3 times as much vitamin C as an orange, so this cocktail is pretty healthy 😉

Enjoy this savory summertime Bella Pepper Cocktail featuring red bell pepper, notes of citrus, hot honey for a hint of warmth, and Black Lava Salt.

Notes

Make a Bella Pepper mocktail instead: Replace the vodka with tonic water. Avoid shaking the mocktail in a cocktail shaker due the carbonation in the tonic water. Instead, stir with a cocktail spoon to mix the ingredients.
