This cocktail might as well be called “Summer in a Glass.” The fresh strawberry blends beautifully with the delightful, herbaceous basil in the simple syrup, and the vodka gives it just enough of a boozy flavor. Try it with gin or even bourbon for a refreshing and fun twist on the Old Fashioned.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces Strawberry Basil Simple Syrup
  • 2 ounces vodka
  • Orange bitters, optional
  • Basil leaves and sliced strawberries for garnish
  • Club soda, optional

Instructions

  1. Combine strawberries, vodka, and bitters and shake with ice.
  2. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with basil leaf and sliced strawberry.
  3. If you like a little fizz, top with club soda.
