  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until well incorporated.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Pour in 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk.
  6. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  7. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
  8. Stir in 2 tablespoons citrus vodka (e.g., lemon or orange) and 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve over your favorite pasta. Garnish with extra basil, if desired.
