Jan is a woman to love <3 Her basil Martini is so incredible- I sip on it as it dilutes with the ice; fresh & flavorful!

Favorite Recipe: Basil Martini

An exceptional Martini- makes 1
Muddle 5-6 small fresh tender basil leaves with 3/4 shot of simple syrup; add juice from 1/2 of a lime or more depending on taste or use 2 small key limes; add a full shot of Bombay Sapphire Gin.  I serve this over ice to help dilute!!  Delicious.
Simple syrup: on stove combine 1 cup sugar with 1 cup water – heat until dissolved. Keep stored in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
