The right cocktail can make a party. That's why we partnered with Smirnoff Ice for this post.
A strong martini is a cocktail that can last all night long. It's a strong sipper that's so crisp, and the addition of basil and a touch of fizz takes the classic drink to a whole new level. You might think the basil would overpower with its naturally, earthy flavor, but it actually works alongside the herbaceous notes of the crisp gin.
