TRUE Sunset Smash
Bright berries, zesty citrus, and a burst of basil – simple, juicy, and irresistibly “Summery”.

2 oz MAGNOTTA TRUE VODKA
0.75 oz fresh lime juice
0.5 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
3–4 fresh strawberries (or raspberries for a tangier twist)
3 fresh basil leaves
Ice
Soda water (optional, for a lighter version)

Directions:  Muddle berries and basil in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.  Add vodka, lime juice, simple syrup.  Fill shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds.  Double strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.  Garnish with a basil sprig and a berry or lime wheel.

Variations:

• Make it Sparkling:  Top with soda water or sparkling rosé for a spritz-style drink.
  Make it Spicy:  Add a thin slice of jalapeño to the muddle for a summer kick.
