It's as simple as it sounds: you just stick a bunch of ice in your cup, add about 1 oz of bourbon (a little less than a shot glass's worth), 1.5 oz of sweet tea vodka, the juice from half of an orange, then top off with club soda and a few hearty dashes of angostura bitters (my all time favorite). The purple basil was mostly as a garnish, but after I took these pictures I let it sit in my drink, which gave it a really nice taste towards the end.
Enjoy y'all!
PS--as per my friend Faye's request I'll be doing a little post on my herb garden soon. That's where the purple basil came from : )
