Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all the ingredients required for the cocktail. Ensure you have fresh basil leaves, a garlic clove, Bare Bone vodka, Bloody Mary mix, and blue cheese olives ready.

2

Muddle the Basil and Garlic

In a mixing glass, add the fresh basil leaves and the garlic clove. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the basil and garlic together. This will release the essential oils from the basil and the flavor from the garlic.

3

Add the Liquids

Pour in the Bare Bone vodka and Bloody Mary mix into the mixing glass with the muddled basil and garlic. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, allowing the flavors to meld.

4

Strain the Mixture

Using a strainer, pour the mixed cocktail into a glass filled with ice. This will help keep the drink cool while serving.

5

Garnish the Drink

Add the blue cheese olives on a cocktail pick and place them into the glass as a garnish. You can also add an extra basil leaf on top for a fragrant touch.

6

Serve

Serve the Garden Variety cocktail immediately while it's chilled. Enjoy!
