The Crush
Vodka, lemon, simple syrup, green grapes, and basil, dry-shaken and poured over crushed ice. Hillstone's summer drink, made at home.
Method
Pierce three of the grapes with a knife tip so they release juice, and leave the fourth whole.
Add the vodka, simple syrup, lemon juice, grapes, and basil to a shaker and shake without ice.
Pour everything over a glass packed with crushed ice.
Notes from the line
The dry shake bruises the basil and opens the grapes. Crushed ice in the glass handles the chilling.
