Blueberry Basil Gimlet As Made By Stir Crazy Cocktails Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Place 6 of the basil leaves in the palm of your hand and clap. Place the leaves in the base of a cocktail shaker and add the simple syrup and lime juice. Pummel the basil leaves with a muddler to release the oils. Add the gin to the shaker along with ice. Put the top on the cocktail shaker and shake. Using a strainer, pour the mixture into a glass.
• Place the remaining basil leaf in your hand and clap. Garnish the cocktail with the basil leaf and serve.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar completely.
• Add the blueberries to the pot and boil until the berries begin to burst, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 5-10 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
• Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
• In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
• Strain into a glass filled with ice and top with ginger beer.
• Garnish with lemon wedge.

Steps:

• Make the rosemary simple syrup: Add the sugar, water, and rosemary to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside to steep for 30 minutes.
• Strain into a glass jar, discarding the rosemary. The simple syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
• Make the rosemary Aperol spritz: In a large pitcher, combine the ice, Aperol, prosecco, club soda, and rosemary simple syrup. Add the orange wheels and rosemary sprigs. Pour into large wine glasses filled with ice and serve. For single drinks add 1 cup (150 g) of ice, 3 oz (90 ml) Aperol, 3 oz (90 ml) of prosecco, 1 oz (30 ml) club soda, 1 oz of rosemary simple syrup to a wine glass and stir.

Steps:

• Chill 2 champagne flutes in the freezer for about an hour prior to serving.
• Make the strawberry simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the strawberries. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, muddling to break down the strawberries, until the syrup is bright red and the strawberries start to lose their color. Remove the pot from the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
• Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the leftover solids. The syrup will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
• Make the cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the vodka, lemon juice, rosewater, and 1 ounce strawberry simple syrup. Close the shaker to seal and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
• Strain the cocktail into the chilled champagne flutes, dividing evenly. Top each glass with 2 ounces of sparkling wine, then fill almost to the brims with club soda. Top with rose dried petals and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
