Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Basil

    In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh basil leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the basil leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.

  2. 2

    Add Ingredients

    Pour in the Deep Eddy lemon vodka, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup into the shaker with the muddled basil.

  3. 3

    Shake

    Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid tightly. Vigorously shake the mixture for about 15-20 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Using a cocktail strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled martini glass.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Add Garnish

    Garnish the martini with a slice of lemon on the rim and a sprig of basil in the glass.
