Summer Strawberry Wine Spritzer
After reading through some strawberry basil martini recipes the other day I had a sort of epiphany that also solved another little problem I had. That little problem is that I have a ton of lemon verbena and I really don't know what to do with all of it. After muddling strawberries and basil for a martini I then had a flash of inspiration for the Summer Strawberry Wine Spritzer
Ingredients:
4 oz white wine
2-3 medium sized strawberries
3-4 lemon verbena leaves
dash of sugar
2-3 ounces Sierra Mist/ Gingerale
Directions:
Add wine, strawberries, lemon verbena and sugar to a martini shaker and muddle (mash the hell out of the strawberries). Strain the wine out over a glass of ice and top with the soda.
Bam! Done!
I made these today to go with dinner today and I was surprised to find out that they actually tasted good too.

How is the infused vodka? I'm rather intrigued by the combination!
It is coming along slowly. I did take out the basil and added more strawberries so we'll see if that sweetens it up a bit. It should be done steeping in another week.
