In a cocktail shaker, add all ingredients and shake with ice. Double strain over fresh ice and garnish with an additional sprig of basil.

Editor's Note

Limoncello takes center stage in this bright, citrus-forward cooler. Fresh lemon juice and muddled basil provide a crisp, herbaceous finish perfect for warm weather.
