Vodka, fresh basil, simple syrup, and tonic water are all you need for these refreshingly easy cocktails. They're also a wonderful way to use basil leaves from an herb garden. Ingredients:
2 cups good-quality vodka |
1 cup lightly packed fresh basil |
tonic water |
garnish: sliced limes, basil leaves |
Directions:
1. Combine first 2 ingredients in a glass container. Crush basil gently with a cocktail muddler or wooden spoon to release flavor. Cover and set aside, out of direct sunlight, 2 days. Strain.
2. Pour 2 ounces (1/4 cup) basil-infused vodka in a highball glass filled with ice cubes. Stir in 1 tablespoon or desired amount simple syrup. Top with 3 to 5 ounces tonic water. Garnish, if desired.
