    vodka gimlet

     

    Ingredients:

    1/2 cup lemon juice, fresh squeezed

    1/2 cup top shelf vodka

    1/2 cup basil simple syrup (see below for recipe)

    1 1/3 cups ice cubes

     

    Directions:

    Blend and serve!

     

     

    Basil Simple Syrup:

    1/2 cup basil leaves (feel free to use ugly pieces and stems)

    1/2 cup sugar (I used cane sugar)

    1/2 cup water

     

    Boil all the ingredients in a saucepan until the sugar is dissolved and basil wilts, about 5 minutes. This recipe will make twice what you need. It keeps in the fridge for a week and in the freezer for 3 months.
