The Blueberry Basil

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!
