Notes

Pro Tips
  • Use fresh, ripe ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the heat level by adding more or less jalapeño.
  • For a more intense basil flavor, lightly muddle the basil leaves before adding them to the shaker.
  • Chill your glass in the freezer before prepping to keep your drink colder for longer.
