Strawberry Basil Negroni

I bought too much basil so be prepared for lots of basil content! But in all seriousness, we all know how much I love Negronis, so this warm-weather, strawberry basil riff on the all time classic is so appropriate for the 60° weather.

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 basil leaves

  • 2 strawberries, sliced

  • 1 oz campari

  • 1 oz sweet vermouth

  • 1½ oz gin

Directions:

In a cocktail mixing glass, gently muddle together the sliced strawberries and basil leaves. Add the rest of the booze along with ice and stir stir stir! Stir until you can’t stir no more (like 30 seconds to a minute). Fine strain into a rocks glass over a large cube, and garnish with a strawberry slice and fresh basil sprig!
