Summer Heat Relief

Alright, so be honest. Do you find yourself coming home from work sometimes and thinking, "man, I could use a drink"? If this is the case, lend me your ear..or eyes.
The Pineapple Basil Martini. The perfect martini for a Summer Heat Relief.

Pineapple Basil Martini
Serves 2
Ingredients:
6 Basil Leaves
About 6, 2 inch thick, lengthwise pieces of Pineapple
1/2 cup of Skyy Infusions All Natural Pineapple Vodka
Extra Basil for Garnish
Simple Syrup
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Water

Directions:
First, make the simple syrup. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and the water. Then, put in the microwave for about 1 minute. Once done, stir well. Then, let it sit and cool, until ready to use. Making the simple syrup in the microwave is a quick and efficient way to make some great simple syrup.

Then, in a large cup, place the pineapple and the basil. Muddle the pineapple and basil until the pieces are all broken up. Add in the vodka and the simple syrup. Mix well. Drain the mixture through a sieve into another large cup. Once ready to serve, serve the martini on ice and garnish with basil.

This martini is the perfect martini for summer. The pineapple blended with basil is an incredible medley. The Skyy Infusions All Natural Pineapple Vodka adds just the right amount of extra pineapple flavor. Gotta love it.
