Prepare the Basil Infused Rye
Start by infusing your rye whiskey with fresh basil. Combine 750 ml of rye whiskey with 1 cup of fresh basil leaves in a jar. Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 3-5 days, shaking it gently once a day. Once infused, strain the rye to remove basil leaves and store in a sealed bottle.
