Hi there! I've been a bartender at the same restaurant for over 10 years. My favorite spirits to work with are rum (love a good tiki drink!), gin and amaros. I love to garden and I often use the herbs and produce I grow to make syrups and infusions. Cheers y'all! ...

Muddle basil in a shaker, then add vodka, syrup, Aperol, and lemon juice. Add ice, shake to chill. Double strain into a coupe glass, top with sparkling wine, and garnish.
Editor's Note
Blueberry-vanilla syrup meets fresh basil in this vibrant vodka sour. A splash of sparkling wine adds effervescence to the bitter-sweet finish.

This sounds like a fantastic weekend special! Do you happen to have the recipe for that blueberry-vanilla syrup so others can try making it at home?
