How it’s done

Pro Tip
Before you drop the basil into the cocktail clap the basil between your hands. It brings out the scent of the basil and adds great complexity to the cocktail.
We juice grapefruits, in our humble opinion it tastes much better.

Cancer Moon Cocktail
Ya’ll we have a new cocktail list!!! The theme is Astrology, we felt it was fitting with spring coming. This is an easy top make cocktail; if you’ve been following along you’ve mastered simple syrup at this point and that is the most work you’ll have to do for this beauty. When we decided on our theme we tried to match the personality of our signs to the cocktails.

Let’s Talk Glassware
We serve this cocktail in a coupe glass, Which is stemmed and a smaller because this is meant to be a sipper. You can use any glass that you feel fits the vibe. I don’t serve this on ice because its a little more of a delicate cocktail. Other glassware suggestions, you could use: Martini Glass, Wine Glass, Flute, Rocks glass With a large cube of ice would also be nice.
How it’s done
Step 1: Add all ingredients to shaker.
Step 2: Top with ice, and shake for about 30 seconds (longer if it’s more than one cocktail).
Step 3: Strain the ice and pour into your glass of choice
Step 4: Enjoy!
Drink up Babes!!
