Thai Basil and Lime Kamikaze
- + New List
Cookbook
Recipe
My wife, Jackie, grows all kinds of basil in her herb garden, and sometimes we put a few leaves in a glass of sparkling water. A little Thai basil also perks up an icy Kamikaze on a hot summer day.
Yield :
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 small sprig fresh Thai basil or regular basil
- ¾ ounce vodka
- ½ ounce Triple Sec
- ½ lime, cut into 4 wedges
Directions
Pick the basil leaves from the stem and set I leaf aside for garnish.
Chill a martini glass. In a mixing glass, half filled with crushed ice or broken-up ice cubes, muddle the vodka, Triple Sec, and lime with a bar stick. Add the basil leaves and bruise them. Strain into the chilled martini glass, garnish with the remaining basil leaf, and serve.

And somehow, with the basil and lime both in it, it seems more aromatic and greener, with a very clean finish. HIGHLY recommended for summer.
