Frozen Vodka with Basil

When you hit the high-heat of summer, it’s a signal that you need to take time to think about cocktails that not only refresh but cool your guest’s core tempertature down.  One of our favorite drinks is a frozen vodka slushy with fresh basil served in a mason jar with a straw.  It is crisp, potent and enjoyed by everyone.
