Muddled Basil Martini image

I've been searching for the perfect summer basil martini. I think I found it on the "B*tches on a Budget" website! Slight variation using agave nectar instead of simple syrup. I had to substitute ounces for "jiggers" as called for in the original recipe -- original verbage included in directions.

Steps:

  • Muddle the basil, simple syrup and lime juice together. Add gin or vodka. Combine in a cocktail shaker with loads of ice. Shake until there are shards of ice and the mix turns frothy. Strain.

I found this martini to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less simple syrup or omitting it altogether.

This basil martini is a refreshing and flavorful twist on the classic martini. The muddled basil adds a unique herbal flavor that pairs perfectly with the gin and vermouth.
