My friend Corina gave me these absolutely beautiful raspberry monogrammed linen cocktail napkins. They are from The Monogrammed Home in San Marino, California. Anyway, my husband made me this Basil Mint Gimlet, which is puts a fresh spin on the traditional gimlet. You can use either vodka or gin. It’s so light and refreshing.
