1 oz pink grapefruit juice
Lemon wedge for garnish

Rub a wedge of lemon around the rim of a cocktail glass and dip the glass into a plate of coarse sugar. Set it aside.

Basil Vodka Gimlet:
6 large, fresh basil leaves, torn into strips
Finely grated zest of 1/2 a lime
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 ounce simple syrup
2 1/2 ounces vodka

Put the basil strips, lime zest, lime juice and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Crush the leaves and the juices with a muddler and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the liquid to infuse with the basil flavor. Add the vodka, then fill the shaker 2/3 full with ice.
