Lemon Basil Martini
This lemon basil vodka martini is a bright, refreshing cocktail. The herbaceous basil brilliantly compliments the zesty lemon for a fresh twist on a classic cocktail!
Ingredients
- 2.5 oz. Oliver's Own Vodka
- 1 oz. lemon juice fresh squeezed
- 1 oz. simple syrup
- 3-4 basil leaves
- ice
- Sliced lemon for garnish
Instructions
Add the basil leaves, simple syrup and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker.
Muddle the basil leaves until they are very bruised and torn. It should smell like basil.
Add a handful of ice to the cocktail shaker along with the vodka.
Shake well for 15-20 seconds until chilled.
Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini or coupe glass. Garnish with a lemon wheel and a basil leaf. Enjoy!
