Everyone is talking about how hot it is! Well, sunny, intense and 110 degrees is normal around this time of year. But for those of you that need a break from the heat try this refreshing summer cocktail.
2 oz gin or vodka
4 oz club soda
2 lime wedges
6-10 basil leaves
1 packet of Splenda
Muddle lime, basil and Splenda in a tall glass. Add gin or vodka. I like both but prefer gin in this cocktail. Shake up ingredients and pour back in glass. Fill with ice and top off with club soda. Light, cool and refreshing.
Stay cool! I'm headed off with my cocktail for dip in the pool.
