This martini happens to be quite gorgeous. And It tastes as good as it looks.

  1. Ooops! Really the way you wrote it looks very good and probably tastes so. However, I will find out at the weekend because I was looking for something new, which I can serve to friends at our little party. The idea of basil is very original. I would not change even this strawberry here. Everything looks perfect. More such recipes, please!
