Hmm, Becca, it’s probably possible, but is it advisable? I’m not sure. I think I would go with mixing basil and gin, as basil’s a lighter herb than mint, and so might get shoved around by the bourbon. Maybe just basil, gin, a little aperol (maybe? Or maybe just a touch of simple syrup), lots of ice, a touch of lemon? You should experiment and let me know, and I’ll do the same.

On the grappa–you need to try again. I hated it at first, but have come to love it. But the basil grappa in the Luscious Liqueurs adds a little sweetness too, so I’ll bet you’d dig the end results.

Cheers-

Question: is it possible to make a Basil Julep? Or is that an abomination? (Your comment about basil grappa got me to thinking… even though I’m a proud Italian girl, I just can’t stomach grappa, so I’m looking for alternatives.)

I do hope Mr. Skoog removed the cocktail straws from his julep before he was blinded.
