The Strawberry Basil Blush cocktail brings together the wonderful flavors and aromas of basil and strawberries. It is a very fruit forward cocktail that is perfect when fresh ripe strawberries are in season. Try making it with either vodka or gin and see which you prefer. For a tall and refreshing play on this cocktail serve it over ice.
