Do you love blueberries?
Do you love basil?
Are you a fan of an old-school cocktail?
If you answered yes to all of the above, then this cocktail recipe is for you!! I call this little baby The Blueberry Basil. It combines fresh blueberries, fresh basil, yellow chartreuse (a favorite of mine!), lemon juice, and gin for a refreshing sip of spring!
>> What you’ll need <<
2 oz. fresh blueberries
3-5 fresh basil leaves
the juice of 1/2 lemon
2 oz. gin
1/2 oz. yellow chartreuse
crushed ice
>> What you’ll do <<
In a shaker, add blueberries, basil leaves (torn into smaller pieces), and lemon juice. Muddle together until the blueberries are all smashed. Add the gin, chartreuse, and a little crushed ice. Shake well. Strain into a glass of your choice and garnish with a sprig of basil.
Last, but certainly not least… ENJOY!! 🙂
