“This tastes like a summery drink,” said my husband.
“What?” I replied. “It’s totally Spring. Grapefruits aren’t even in season in the summer. Strawberries are best in the Spring. I guess basil is Summer, but I can get past that.”

This martini was inspired by the Sage Recipes’ Grapefruit and Basil Martini and the early Easter that we are celebrating. Since Spring began just over a week ago, and many of us have been seeing more snow and chilly temps than rainbows and tree buds, this cocktail will help put a little spring into you step. It looks pretty. With two ounces of vodka, though, it’s no lightweight cocktail.

5 large basil leaves
1/2 c. strawberries, sliced
1/4 t. raw agave syrup
1 pink grapefruit, juiced (about 1/2 c.)
2 oz. vodka
Muddle the basil leaves, strawberries and agave in a cocktail shaker. Fill shaker halfway with ice. Add grapefruit juice and vodka. Cover and shake. Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass.

That looks yummy & refreshing! Thanks for sharing this at my Pin Me Party!
Thanks! It’s definitely a do-over, and I think it would also make a good mocktail.
