Who needs a drink?

I have been trying out a new cocktail recently. I am not sure what you would call it. Let me know if you have any ideas!

1 oz. fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 oz. gin
1 oz. St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
Basil
Sparkling wine

Muddle your herb over ice in a cocktail shaker. Add the lemon juice, gin and St. Germain's and give it a good shake. Strain into a champagne flute, then top with sparkling wine (or soda if you want to cut it back a little bit). If you like drinks on the sweet side, add a little simple syrup. Enjoy!



p.s. if you try this out, let me know what you thought!
