Strawberry Basil Martini
In honor of my strawberry basil vodka I figured I might as give as well give the recipe for a good strawberry basil martini. Mojo Lounge (in Columbus) makes a good version of these too.
Ingredients:
3 Strawberries
3 Basil leaves
1/2 ounce simple syrup
Ice
2 ounces vodka
Squeeze of fresh lime and a lime twist
Directions:
In a martini shaker mash the strawberry and basil leaves with a wooden spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients and shake it up. Strain with the lid into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a lime twist or a little bit of basil chiffonade. This way you don't even need specially infuse strawberry basil vodka to enjoy it.

FYI... this is actually a gimlet. But I will gladly taste it to be sure. You do know that I visit your region sometimes, right? I would love to say hi.
I can even impart some cooking wisdom...
I thought a gimlet was just gin and rose's lime juice (or vodka) although I know I am being quite loose with the term "martini" as well. Let us know the next time you are in central Ohio (and by us I mean me and Chris and not the royal we).
