I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cocktail didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as visually appealing.

I'm not a big fan of basil, but I really enjoyed this cocktail. The flavors were very well-balanced.

This cocktail is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less simple syrup.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this cocktail was to make. I didn't have any limoncello on hand, so I used lemon juice instead. It still turned out great!
