So, its been a long time but we decided to finally make another video! This one was a blast to shoot and so easy to make. With summer right around the corner (even though it should be here already!), it really just felt like the perfect drink to make. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Directions

Take your limes and basil and muddle them together in a mixing glass. Per usual, we like to use mason jars because they are really easy to use for other things and they also come with a shaker lid!

Add in your Gin, Vodka, and Watermelon Juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake shake shake it! Make sure your shaker is ice cold before you set it down to pour it.

Strain the drink through a fine sieve and ensure you get all the pulp out. There will be loads of it from the limes and watermelon and a good martini should be nice and neat - so no pulp! You can use the back of a bar spoon to press the pulp down and make sure you are getting all the goodness from there.

Take a piece of basil and lay it flat in your palm. Smack the basil once as this releases the oils and a beautiful aroma from the basil leaf. Lay it flat on top of the martini and then garnish the side of the glass with a small piece of watermelon. Enjoy!
