Рецепт Cocktail Time! The Berry Patch
School may have started, but it's not the end of summer yet! Labor Day weekend is upon us, and fall does not officially start until the autumnal equinox on September 23rd. In the "spirit" of prolonging every teacher's favorite season, we gathered a few tantalizing summertime ingredients to create a cocktail we're calling "The Berry Patch" (special thanks to D and J for taste-testing and tweaking the name). Light, sweet, herby and slightly bubbly, these go down nice and easy!
(makes a small pitcher, about six drinks)
- 12-14 fresh strawberries, chopped
- 6-8 leaves fresh basil, torn
- 1 cup cranberry juice (100% juice, not cranberry cocktail)
- 1 cup vodka
- ice
- club soda (optional)
- extra berries and/or basil leaves for garnish
In a pitcher, muddle the chopped strawberries with the torn basil leaves.
Add the cranberry juice, lemonade and vodka.
Add ice, stir and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Add a splash of club soda on top if you like it bubbly, and garnish as desired.
