This is a fairly simple, and wonderfully herbal, martini which is kind of like a martini meets vodka tonic plus basil. I am very partial to simplicity in my drinks. Greyhound, gin and tonic, dirty martini, moscow mule: these are the kind of drinks that knock my socks off. I might throw in a few sweeter martinis and cocktails from time to time because my friends all seem to love them when I make them, but I really have to be in the mood for something sweet. This often coincides with my premenstrual times...fancy that.
Like my limonada, this utilizes a basil simple syrup that is very easy to make.
3 basil leaves, torn slightly
2 oz vodka
1 oz basil syrup
3/4 oz water
3/4 oz tonic
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake the ever-loving shit out of it. Strain into a fine and fancy martini glass and get crunk.
My name's Lyndsey and I grew up in Hawaii, Michigan, Iowa and California, which led to my varied culinary loves and styles. From hearty Midwestern comfort fare to taste explosions inspired by my Japanese and Hawaiian family members: Ono style. I favor bold spicy foods, and made-from-scratch, fresh from the garden cooking. I also love crafting and making all sorts of non-food items. Warning: you may encounter occasional, colorful vulgarity.
