Notes
- Expert Tips:
- Muddling The Cucumbers - It's important to chop the cucumbers before adding them to the cocktail shaker. In addition, the longer you muddle the cucumber mixture the more cucumber liquid and flavoring you will have for your cocktail.
- Adjust Basil Based on Preference - This recipe calls for 2 basil leaves, but leaves can be anywhere from tiny to giant. I like two average sized leaves because I love basil flavor. Note basil is a strong herb so be sure to use more or less based on your personal preference.
