As June’s “garden party” themed cocktail party continues, I had to include a favorite herb of mine in the line-up – basil.  I love how versatile it is, and really can make a dish (or drink) pop! Considering my mom is visiting one of her best friends this week (who introduced me to the Caipirinha), I only thought it fitting to put a fun spin on it. Here you go!
