– 1/2 oz Simple syrup
– 1 dash Angostura bitters

3. Add lemon juice and Angostura bitters to the mixing glass.
4. Fill the mixing glass with ice and shake vigorously.
5. Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice.
6. Slowly pour the basil infused olive oil on top of the cocktail, creating a layer on the surface.
7. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf and enjoy your refreshing “Basil Bliss” cocktail!
Note: You can also try using a flavored gin, such as basil or herb-infused gin, for even more depth and complexity in this cocktail. Cheers!
