Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by chilling your cocktail glass in the freezer or by filling it with ice water for a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Muddle Blueberries and Basil

    In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh blueberries and basil leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush them together to release their flavors.

  3. 3

    Add the Liquids

    Pour in the Tito's Vodka, Blueberry Basil Syrup, Grand Marnier, and Lime Juice into the shaker with the muddled mixture.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the shaker with ice cubes to the top.

  5. 5

    Shake the Cocktail

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled.

  6. 6

    Strain into Glass

    Remove the ice from your chilled glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass, using a fine mesh strainer to catch any solids.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the cocktail with a lime wheel on the rim of the glass and serve immediately.
