Happy Friday y’all!! It’s so time to celebrate the upcoming weekend with an awesome cocktail, and this is definitely an awesome cocktail.
I think I’ve already made it very clear what a huge fan I am of Belles Organics products, so it should be no surprise I’m not only using their drink for this one but also their recipe for this particular drink, thank y’all for letting me borrow it 🙂
Among my favorite smells in the world, basil is definitely one of them, I mean, it even holds strong smell-wise with baking cookies and fresh coffee. Every time I get a big whiff of basil I think of summer time and homemade pizza, so that’s probably why I was so stoked when I saw this recipe on the Belles website. It takes their Southern Belle, which is their amazing lemonade vodka, then it is infused with fresh basil, yummmy y’all. One sip of this drink and I was transported to lazy summer weekends and lounging by the pool, aaahh. Get your weekend or cheat day started with this fresh, lovely drink too, you’ll be happy you did.
Obviously you can use a shaker, but I used a glass so I could see all the stuff, tear up your basil leaves…
I mean, look at their cute bottles, make sure to shake it up well…
Pour a little bit of your Southern Belle onto your basil…
Now get in there and muddle your basil…btw you don’t need a fancy tool, a spoon would be sufficient…
nice and smooshed…
now pour the rest of your Belles…
add your club soda and voila! ready to serve over ice…
yummm!!
- 6 Ounces of Belles Organics Southern Belle.
- 3 Large Organic Basil Leaves.
- 4 Ounces of Club Soda.
- Crushed Ice.
- Make sure to shake the Belle bottle before opening, it is an organic product so ingredients tend to settle at the bottom.
- Tear your basil leaves into small pieces and drop into your shaker or glass.
- Pour 1-2 ounces of the Southern Belle onto the basil.
- Then muddle, aka squish and press your basil to make sure the flavor infuses into the liquid.
- Now add the remainder of your Southern Belle into your shaker or glass and stir or shake thoroughly.
- Add your club soda to your drink, stir and serve.
- Add ice if desired.
