Well, hello there warm weather.
Dealing with the biploar Chicago weather can be frustrating at times, but today is a work holiday, and the sudden 90 degree weather (wait, wasn't it almost freezing just four days ago?) is very welcome in my book. Unfortunately, most of us aren't used to such heat yet, so make sure to keep your self cool in the blistering sun by sipping on this yummy concoction:
Basil Gimlet
2 oz. Gin (I recommend North Shore No. 6)
1 oz. Basil infused simple syrup (see my previous post on infusing your own simple syrups)
Juice of 1/2 of a fresh squeezed lime (fresh, seriously - put away that fake plastic lime - NOW!)
Shake. Serve over ice - Garnish with a basil leaf or a lime wedge (or both, just make sure to garnish!), and go soak up that sunshine, Chicago!
