5 Fresh Strawberries
2 Basil Leaves
1 oz vodka
2 tsp sugar
muddle the strawberries, 1 basil leaf and sugar in the bottom of a shaker. Allow to sit for at least five minutes so that the strawberries release their juices. Add vodka and ice and shake. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with the remaining basil leaf.
Recipe notes: Basil and strawberries may seem like an unusual combination, but it is actually quite delicious. The basil imparts a fresh, yet subtle flavor.
