Instructions

The Velvet Basilique is an enchanting concoction that marries the rich depth of red wine with the sweet, herbaceous essence of basil. Each sip is a journey through a garden of sensory delights, both familiar and fresh. Serve it in a sophisticated stemmed wine glass to accentuate its alluring aromatics and deep ruby hues. Ingredients: - 60ml (2 oz) Red Wine (Preferably a fruit-forward variety like Merlot or Shiraz) - 30ml (1 oz) Blackberry Liqueur - 15ml (0.5 oz) Fresh Lemon Juice - 10ml (0.33 oz) Simple Syrup (Adjust sweetness to your taste) - 8 Fresh Basil Leaves - 60ml (2 oz) Club Soda - Fresh Basil Sprig for Garnish - Lemon Wheel for Garnish Instructions: 1. In your shaker, gently muddle the basil leaves with the lemon juice and simple syrup to release the herb's aromatic oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves, as that can lead to a bitter taste. 2. Add the red wine and blackberry liqueur to the shaker. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into the stemmed wine glass filled with fresh ice, taking care to leave the muddled basil leaves behind. 5. Top the drink with club soda for a refreshing effervescence. 6. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil and a lemon wheel on the rim of the glass. 7. Serve immediately, inviting your guests to savor the sweet, aromatic sipper that is the Velvet Basilique.
