When you're ready for a sophisticated backyard BBQ drink that can be whipped up straight from your garden, look no further! Tangy lime mingles perfectly with savory blueberry scented Tulsi basil and sharp mint. Combined with the light tough of elderberry from St. Germain liqueur and the juniper notes of gin, you are left with a surprisingly complex, but extremely drinkable concoction.
