This cocktail gates a huge amount of it?s flavour from a Blackberry Basil ?Shrub?.
Ah the shrub? also known as a drinking vinegar. Don?t let the name scare you away - this sweet, sour, fruit infused syrup is refreshing when mixed with soda water and killer when used in cocktails.
It takes a little time, but it?s well worth it.
Ingredients:
2 ounces vodka
2 ounces blackberry basil shrub
4 ounces Club Soda
Method:
Fill a tall (Collins) glass with ice. Pour in the shrub mixture, vodka and then top off with soda water. Stir gently.
Garnish with blackberries and fresh basil leaves.
