Bitter Basil Bee Cocktail

This has been one of my favorite summer cocktails. I am not really a “sweetie sweet” person so this is a refreshing drink that mixes sweet and sour to perfection in my book. Try it out while its still hot!

Shot and a half TRU Organic Gin
1 tsp. melted raw honey
2 pieces muddled basil
Organic Grapefruit juice

In a shaker add the basil and muddle. This is a process that releases the juice, oils, and flavors from the leaves by twisting a muddler onto the leaves. I prefer to do this in a shaker so that I do not have floating pieces of basil in my drink. Add the Gin, melted raw honey, and grapefruit juice. Add ice and shake vigorously.  Pour into a glass and enjoy.
Cheers!
