La Petite Paris

This just might be my favorite new drink. The joy comes from the Esprit de June, which, sadly, is hard to find in my part of the Pacific Northwest. In a pinch, any elderberry liqueur will do (as will green grapes).

• 1 large part Esprit de June
• 1 small part lemon juice
• 1 small part simple syrup
• 2 basil leaves
• 5 red grapes
• seltzer

muddle grapes and basil leaves. Add in your liqueur, syrup and juice over ice. shake. pour. if you want a bit of bubbles, add seltzer.
