Now you need to put all the ingredients into a boston shaker and start to stamp them together with a smasher about 2minutes. Then you add Ice into shaker and start shaking also about 2 minutes and you will that shaker start frosting . Now you need a strainer and a Fine Strainer because of Basil leaves and put the drink into a Tumbler with an Iceball. Put a clean big Basil leaf on the top of your drink and you are done ! Enjoy it
