This basil, cucumber, lime, vodka cocktail is so refreshing and simple to make. Careful! It goes down fast!

Ingredients

  • 4 Fresh basil leaves
  • 5 Slices of cucumber (1/4 inch thick)
  • 4 Ounces Simple syrup (Make simple syrup by combining equal portions water and sugar. Heat until sugar dissolves. Store in fridge.)
  • 1 Large Juicy lemon
  • 1 Large Juicy lime
  • 4 Ounces Vodka

Note

There's no need to buy any fancy bar equipment for this cocktail.  To "muddle" I used my Pampered Chef tool called the "mix and chop" and that worked perfectly.  You could use a potato masher.  I also don't own a shaker (yet) so I use a plastic jar with a lid.  When I strain the cocktail, I strain through a sieve.  Nothing fancy!

Directions

Step 1
Muddle basil and cucumber along with simple syrup.
Step 2
Add juices from the lemon and lime.
Step 3
Add vodka.
Step 4
Place all in shaker (or something similar) filled with ice and shake, shake shake. Strain into ice-filled rocks glasses. Garnish with a slice of cucumber.
