I've been searching for the perfect summer basil martini. Slight variation using agave nectar instead of simple syrup. I had to substitute ounces for jiggers as called for in the original recipe - original verbage included in directions. Ingredients:
2 ounces vodka or 2 ounces gin |
1 ounce agave nectar or 1 ounce simple syrup |
4 sweet basil, fresh |
2 mint leaves, fresh |
juice of one lime |
Directions:
1. Muddle the basil, simple syrup and lime juice together. Add gin or vodka. Combine in a cocktail shaker with loads of ice. Shake until there are shards of ice and the mix turns frothy. Strain.
2. Original recipe reads: 2 1/2 jiggers of vodka or gin. 1 jigger simple syrup. 1 jigger fresh squeezed lime juice. 4 fresh sweet basil leaves. 1 fresh spearmint leaf (or to taste).
