Strawberry Basil Lemon Drop
Watch the recipe video on Instagram.
Some of you asked me for another recipe using the basil syrup I shared last week, so I quickly got to work and I couldn’t be more excited about this one! I’ve always been a big lemon drop girl and this flavor pairing is pretty elite, if I do say so myself.
INGREDIENTS:
2 oz vodka
1 oz lemon juice
3-4 strawberries
3/4 oz basil syrup
METHOD:
Dip rim of coupe glass in simple syrup, then into sugar. Place glass in freezer to set.
Add strawberries and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Muddle until berries have broken down.
Add vodka and basil syrup. Add ice, then shake until chilled.
Strain into prepped coupe glass, and enjoy!
Basil Syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
3-4 large basil leaves
Combine ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until sugar dissolves.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
Once cool, strain syrup into an airtight container and store in the fridge.
