Strawberry Basil Gimlet Cocktail Recipe

February 16, 2016

A cocktail garnished with strawberry slices and a sprig of mint sits on a wooden table next to a cutting board with more strawberry slices, mint leaves, and a lemon. The background is a bright kitchen.

I discovered Sabi Khalsa and her mixology service, Funmakers, on Instagram, and had to give some of her bespoke cocktails a try. It turns out we have quite a few friends in common, and we had an amazing time chatting and mixing up some delicious and inspired sips.

The first: a Strawberry Basil Gimlet made with the freshest of components (she uses California-grown ingredients when possible, sourced from farmers markets or foraged locally). It’s safe to say I know what I’ll be serving at our next backyard barbecue. XXJKE
