My name is Bridget, and I am a fan of basil.
I've recently discovered basil is really good in margaritas. I wondered how this beautiful herb would taste when combined with other spirits. Turns out it is also great paired with vodka!
I found this recipe on Liquor.com and played around with it a bit. I hope you find this cocktail as refreshingly delicious as we did!
The instructions contain the verbs "muddle" and "shake," but have no fear if you don't own a muddler or shaker! Instead of "muddling," I "smashed." I don't have a bartender's "shaker" so I used an old (clean!) plastic jar with a lid.
Wait no longer — give this drink a try today!
Yes -- that was a delightful discovery! Enjoy!
