Basil Lemonade

This is the party mix for the basil lemon smash.  Add 1 to 2 oz of 1808 Gin over ice in a rocks glass and top off with the basil lemonade.  Alternatively, add a little more Gin and top off in a larger glass.  Everything is to taste!  

Ingredients

32 oz Organic Lemonade (the more real lemon the better)
1.5 - 2 oz fresh basil leaves (weight after large stems removed)
1/4 oz Simple Syrup (3 cups sugar to 2 cups water)

Combine all ingredients in a good blender or a food processor.  Strain to get the larger leaves out.  But hey, it's just basil so you can leave them in if you want.
