It ain’t over ’til it’s over. It may be Labor Day weekend, but I’m just getting into the swing of the season’s sun and sea. Let’s save the frock for fall and pour ourselves a cocktail. Summer, I love you.

Put ice, Lillet, gin, orange juice and basil in a cocktail shaker; shake well. Fill a glass with ice; strain mixture into glass. Add tonic water. Garnish with cucumber spear, cinnamon stick and basil sprigs.

Full recipe with ingredients and directions can be found right here. Cheers!
