When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When your AeroGarden gives you lemon basil… make lemon basil blossom cocktails! I debated whether to file this post in my cocktail series or cooking with my Aerogarden series, and cocktails it is!! Out of the seven herbs growing in my indoor garden, the lemon basil has definitely been the most prolific. But also the most difficult one to find a use for. Until I came across this cocktail recipe in Saveur Magazine. The recipe seemed perfect too because I still have a few bottles of rum that I brought back from my last trip to Puerto Rico.
A la vôtre!
great use for the lemon basil, i also had way too much and didn't really know where to put it – drinks are a fantastic alternative to my fish dishes 🙂
this looks good…but alas I have no lemon basil on my window sill…just the regular. how different are the two??
Ooh… fish dishes? I have so much lemin basil, great idea!! Forest, they're pretty different actually but I'm sure you can try it…
