    Blueberry Basil Cosmopolitan is a refreshing beverage sweetened with a simple syrup infused with fresh basil and accented with a splash of lime juice. This beverage is a great one to serve and impress your guests with at your next warm weather gathering!

    There are select things I look really forward to. One is my morning cup of coffee. First thing I do every single day! Second is a drink at the end of a long work week. When the weekend arrives we are always want to sit back and relax at least one night with a refreshing beverage. Most of the time for me, it is a glass of wine. It can be red or white, depending on my mood. Grumpy prefers to have vodka and cranberry, and rarely changes that venue.

    Sometimes I like to come up with something a little different and experiment in the kitchen. That is how I came to enjoy this Blueberry Basil Cosmopolitan last weekend! To get the basil flavor in this beverage, you will make a simple syrup, then steep the fresh basil leaves in the syrup for about 15 minutes.

    Once the syrup has infused the basil flavor it is strained to remove the basil leaves. You end up with a golden colored basil flavored syrup that is delicious!

    You top your shaker off with ice and the drink ingredients. Next you shake then pour a delicious and gorgeous Blueberry Basil Cosmopolitan! Top off with a sprig of basil and lime slices and you're good to go!
