This is really more of a refreshing summer cocktail that I love to make after my basil in my garden has begun to flourish, but I just couldn't wait after I had a hankering last week. Fresh basil is the key here and cannot be substituted without making it a totally different drink, which is just fine too.
1/2 oz basil simple syrup
2 slices of lemon
3-4 basil leaves, torn slightly
ice
1 1/2 oz vodka
1 1/2 oz limoncello (homemade or purchased)
club soda to fill
Muddle basil simple with lemon slices and basil leaves in a collins or similar highball glass (feel free to use a pint, but you might need to adjust proportions because it's much larger).
Add ice, then vodka and limoncello. Fill with club soda and pour into a larger glass. Give it a couple swirls to mix it up and pour it back into your original glass.
Garnish with lemon slice and sprig of basil. Drink outside, preferably by your burgeoning garden.
