Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I hope you have some fun planned!
When you make a cocktail it’s all about balance. That’s always my main focus when I’m putting together a drink. For this weeks cocktail recipe I went for something sweet and sour. But, I wanted to add something fresh because I hate artificial flavors. In my kitchen I have a basil plant and decided to use that for a simple syrup as I absolutely love making flavored syrups.
Here is how you make this one:
what you do:
Simply add these three ingredients to a shaker and shake, shake, shake! I rimmed the glass with sugar for a little extra sweetness.
This recipe is a really good example of flavor balance. The sour of the lemon is the perfect counterpart to the sweet basil syrup. Not only is this recipe so fast and easy, it’s fresh and delicious too. A perfect sip for Memorial Day weekend!
