Cocktail Inspiration:
I chose Deep Eddy Lemon because I wanted to capture the essence of summer, using basil as my compliment flavor in order to recreate that feeling you get when picking fresh herbs. I wanted the basil to linger on your palate in that same way, while the lemon keeps it bright and sunny.
