My New Favourite Drink

Fill a glass with ice.  No, REALLY fill it.  Now, crush up a couple of basil leaves with your fingers and put them in the glass with the ice.  Add 1 part vodka and 2 parts lemonade and shake.  

You might not think basil in a drink would be very good; I assure you, it is. Refreshing like a mojito, but about a third of the effort.

I will do you one better:
- muddled cucumber AND basil
- fresh lime juice
- vodka (liberal amounts)
1 - strain into supremely chilled martini glass (using martini shaker)
2 - garnish with cuke slice & basil leaf
3 - Take a sip of heaven!!
