Ok, so, I'm definitely cheating a little bit here because I didn't actually come up with this cocktail, but this collins from Oven & Shaker was the first drink I wanted to try my hand at when I got home. I figured I'd share the recipe here since not everyone has the privilege of living (+ eating + drinking) in Portland! If you're in Portland, I would highly recommend giving Oven & Shaker a try (get the spicy salami pizza - you'll never have pizza without honey again!).
For this drink you will need a small handful of fresh basil, 2 oz. vodka (I've also found this drink is pretty good with gin), 3/4 oz. lemon juice, a squirt or two of honey (I would adjust this based on your preferences), 2 oz. seltzer water, and ice.
Do you have any favorite summer drinks? I would love to hear! xo
This looks divine, thank you! I like to stick with strawberry or rose wine, and put in some frozen fruits like strawberries or raspberries. Coconut water and rum is good together, with a wedge of pineapple on the glass. Rootbeer and any kind of vanilla flavored alcohol tastes like an adult rootbeer float, which I'm crazy for. Staying home, I like to make lemonade with some kind of alcohol and garnished with lemon wedges. Vodka, honey bourbon, and whiskey are all good in it. When I go out I like sour apple martinis. I think one of my favorite things to do during the summer is buy those bottles of snow cone syrup and make adult snow cones with rum and ice in a blender, with a cherry or two on top. You can also make a pretty good drink with DeKuyper watermelon pucker schnapps, Malibu rum, Three Olives cherry vodka, blue Curacao, sprite and grenadine syrup.
