Cocktail Preparation
Prepare the Basil Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water (1 cup each) over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Add a handful of fresh basil leaves and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain out the basil leaves and store in a bottle.
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of Meyer Lemon Vodka, 1 oz of fresh grapefruit juice, 0.5 oz of fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz of house basil simple syrup.
Shake the Cocktail
Fill the shaker with 1 cup of ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
Strain and Serve
Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf and a slice of grapefruit on the rim.
