1/2 fresh grapefruit, juiced (about 2 1/2 ounces of juice)
1 ounce simple syrup
2 basil leaves
Instructions
In a cocktail shaker, muddle one basil leaf with simple syrup. (I don’t have a muddler so I simply chopped my basil very fine and mixed well with syrup)
Add vodka and grapefruit juice. Fill shaker with ice and shake.
Strain into martini glass and garnish with remaining basil leaf.
Notes
To make simple syrup, combine 1 cup of water with 1 cup of sugar. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Cool before using.
