Ingredients
  • 2 clamshells Bowery Basil
  • 1 cup cranberries (frozen or fresh)
  • 32 ounces vodka
  • 16 ounces triple sec or cointreau
  • 32 ounces unsweetened cranberry juice
  • 16 ounces basil simple syrup
  • 3 limes, thinly sliced
  • Seltzer, for serving
Preparation
  1. Pour 3 cups of water into a nonstick bundt pan. In a circular formation, with all stems pointing the same direction, arrange the basil leaves to form a wreath. Top with cranberries, and place in the freezer for 3 hours, or until fully frozen.
  2. To make basil simple syrup: combine 3 cups water and 3 cups sugar in a medium pot. Cook until sugar has fully dissolved, then pour into a jar containing 2-3 clamshells of Bowery Basil. Cover with a lid, and place in the fridge till room temperature.
  3. In a large punch bowl, combine vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and simple syrup. Mix gently to combine.
  4. Remove the ice wreath from the freezer, and place a cutting board on top. Gently flip over, then wait a few minutes for it to melt very slightly. Tap on the top of the pan until the wreath releases.
  5. Very gently slide the wreath, basil side up, into the punch. Garnish with lime slices.
  6. To serve, fill a glass with ice, and pour in 1 ladleful of punch. Top with seltzer and a lime slice.
