Ingredients
Scale
3 oz Vodka
1 oz St. Germain Elderflower liqueur (or similar brand)
4 – 6 leaves of fresh basil (depending how large they are)
Juice of 1/2 – 1 lemon (depending how large and juicy they are)
Instructions
- You will need a martini shaker with a straining feature for making this martini.
- For best results, first chill your martini glass. Do this by filling the glass with ice and some water. Let the glass sit while you shake up the martini.
- Now, rinse the lemon and basil leaves, and pat them dry.
- Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the shaker.
- Then, drop the basil leaves into the lemon juice. Muddle until the basil is mashed into the lemon.
- Next, add the vodka and elderflower liqueur into the shaker. Fill with ice.
- Shake until the shaker is ice cold.
- Empty the ice water from the martini glass, which has been chilling with water.
- Finally, strain the martini into the martini glass. Cheers!
