This cocktail gates a huge amount of it?s flavour from a Blackberry Basil ?Shrub?. <br />Ah the shrub? also known as a drinking vinegar. Don?t let the name scare you away - this sweet, sour, fruit infused syrup is refreshing when mixed with soda water and killer when used in cocktails. <br />It takes a little time, but it?s well worth it. <br /> <br />Ingredients: <br />2 ounces vodka <br />2 ounces blackberry basil shrub <br />4 ounces Club Soda <br /> <br />Method: <br />Fill a tall (Collins) glass with ice. Pour in the shrub mixture, vodka and then top off with soda water. Stir gently. <br />Garnish with blackberries and fresh basil leaves.
