Warm, herbal and a little bit cheeky.
MAKES 1 • PREP 5 MINUTES • SERVE: ROCKS GLASS
What's the number one rule of the spice trade?
Think it over while we build the drink: muddled basil, cinnamon syrup and fresh lemon, stirred down with FELLOW Sichuan & Celery Vodka and served over a big clear cube.
Why FELLOW makes it unique: the Sichuan warmth runs straight into the cinnamon while the celery keeps the basil tasting garden-fresh.
