Whiskey Cocktail with Berries and Basil
For this Whiskey Cocktail, you’ll need basil leaves, strawberries, tonic, and whiskey. Don’t you love the liquor label on the decanter? I gave a set of silver ones to her last year for her pretty liquor decanters.
Muddle the strawberries and add basil leave. Continue to muddle them together in a large cup.
Add in whiskey and ice and stir until well blended.
Strain into a cocktail glass and add ice. Add a splash of tonic water and garnish with a fresh strawberry.
