So of course I had to try this recipe. I whipped up a batch last night for myself and the Hub. It was wonderful. I've played with putting basil in drinks before but especially like it with the grapefruit juice. (I think next time I'll omit the simple syrup because I don't mind the slight bitterness of the grapefruit.) Grapefruit is my newest favorite ingredient. So of course I had to try this recipe.

I make a basil cocktail (I refuse to call it a martini). Muddle a handful of basil in in a cocktail shaker with about 3/4 tb of agave nectar and juice from one lime. Add ice, and vodka (3 oz. or so)and shake and strain into a glass of your choice. Adjust to your tastes. Was excited to give this a try and then I saw “grapefruit juice” which killed it for me.
