Muddle a couple of the basil leaves with the simple syrup in the bottom of a mixing glass or shaker.
2
add the other ingredients, plus ice.
3
Shake until very cold and pour into a martini glass.
4
Place a nice-looking leaf in the drink.

I used 3 basil leaves per drink. I made 2 in the shaker. It's so yummy. The taste of basil is there but not overpowering. Great drink. Thanks for posting :) Made for Bargain Basement tag game
