However, I'd ditch the Old Overholt for a decent rye, that stuff is terrible. And once you do that, why not try a Fancy Free? 1 1/2 oz rye whiskey 2 dashes maraschino liqueur 1 dash orange bitters 1 dash Angostura® bitters 1 healthy dash lemon juice some powdered sugar Run the lemon around the edge of a martini glass, coat with sugar. Put other ingredients in a shaker, stir, and strain into glass. Enjoy.

If you can't find the Rittenhouse BIB, I personally find Wild Turkey Rye and Jim Beam Rye to both be tastier alternatives to the O.O., and both should be pretty wildly available.

So I recently came into many bunches of several different kinds of basil. I've been thinking I'd like to make a cocktail with some of them, but I'd rather it wasn't a gin base. Any other suggestions that will really highlight the flavor of the (home-grown, of course) basil? In a slightly different direction, would a vodka infusion be a good idea?
