I love a spritz—I’m all about anything that feels fresh, light, and bubbly! The taste that forms from the marriage of the basil and the yuzu is indescribable. You just have to try it. I am sure you’ll understand after that first sip.

Ingredients

  • 3–4 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 oz vod

Method

In a cocktail shaker fitted with a strainer, combine the basil and water, then muddle them until the basil is fragrant and broken down a bit.

Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, then add the vodka, yuzu liqueur, and simple syrup. Shake well, then pour the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Top with prosecco, mix slightly, and enjoy!
