Cocktail Hour!

I know. It's a little early and only Thursday but we've had runny noses and sniffles for the past few days around here and mama could use a drink right about now. So instead of imbibing at this "inappropriate" hour I thought I'd share this cocktail recipe. Since having a baby and nursing have been at the forefront of my priorities for the past 8 months, cocktails have been reserved for fridays and only one.

So here it is in the spirit of the season... Basil Strawberry Lemonade Cocktail.

Muttle basil and strawberries in shaker.

Add ice, vodka and lemonade to taste.

"Shake what your mama gave ya."

Pour into glass.

Garnish with a sprig of Basil and/or strawberry.

Enjoy!

Options:

You could substitute tequila in place of vodka, mint in place of basil. 

Also, champagne would be nice too. (Do not put champagne in shaker!)
