i created this recipe friday night while craving a tracy's garden from whiskey cake. they are so so yummy. i think is pretty close and definitely tasty. i will play with this one a bit. mint could be subbed for the basil. this would probably be good with a little dab of salt on the rim as well. and you could always go with vodka. you can also make this without soda but it is really strong...good but strong.
to make simple syrup, i use 1 part water and 2 parts sugar. place in a small pot and heat until sugar dissolves completely. set aside until cooled.
