Drink recipes: Fresh juice cocktails

A dramatic and very tasty cocktail that is sure to impress is the Basil-lime Martini.

There are two ways to make this:

First the martini style, for making them one at a time.

Make and cool a batch of simple syrup. (equal parts sugar and water heated until sugar dissolves)

Take 5 basil leaves and muddle with abundant ice and 1.5 oz simple syrup

add 1.5 oz vodka and 1/2 lime juiced and shake vigorously.

strain and pour in chilled martini glass garnish with single basil leave floating in cocktail.

For a party, I would recommend making a big batch of basil limeade and mixing it on the rocks with vodka in a tumbler.

Basil limeade:

2 cups lime juice

2 cups simple syrup

2 cups water

(adjust sweetness and acidity to taste)

puree mixture in blender with 1 bunch of basil leaves

strain mixture

tear fresh basil leaves and float in pitcher with limeade.
