Boyfriend just made this and OMG it's so delicious. And easy to make! (Especially from where I'm sitting :)) Thank you for this one!!

I don't know why it's taken me this long to review this.  I have been in love with this cocktail for years, a summer must.  I regularly serve it at my annual Midsommar party, a crowd favorite!  Thank youuuuuu, love the fresh herbal flavor.  I look forward to this every year come basil season!

First and most importantly, I love this blog! It's really helped since my 5-year old decided to become a vegetarian last year. 

I like a tart cocktail, but this was too tart for me. Maybe if I'd hand squeezed the lime instead of using a hand-held squeezer it would have worked better? It'd be helpful to have a more exact measurement.

Thank you!
