Blue Plate Bachelor

I stumbled into a Chinese-themed street fair in downtown Portland the other day, and found myself some nice produce. And just like Marco Polo, I thought “this would go great in pasta”.
You will need

1 asian eggplant, diced and salted. (you may wish to peel the skin, if you don’t like the texture)
2-3 heads of baby [...]

1 1/2 ounce Gin
3/4 ounce Lillet
3/4 ounce Lemon Juice
1/2 ounce Crème de Cacao (white)

Shake with ice and strain into a martini glass.
This lovely cocktail came from a good friend who has started dating a good bartender…
A darn good arrangement if you ask me.
