Author Notes

Refreshing with a hint of floral is how we would describe this cocktail. We made a basil ginger syrup that complimented our DIY Gin (Hendricks is a great alternative). Along with Lillet and a splash of tonic, this cocktail is one to sip on a warm spring afternoon. —Pizza Night Vermont
