Basil Grande

Chill a martini glass in advance to ensure optimal serving temperature.

Prepare a garnish of freshly ground black pepper and set aside.

Muddle the hulled strawberries and basil leaves in the base of a shaker, releasing their flavors.

Add the Ketel One Vodka, black raspberry liqueur, Grand Marnier, and sweetened cranberry juice to the shaker.

Shake vigorously with ice to thoroughly combine and chill the ingredients.

Fine strain the mixture into the pre-chilled martini glass, ensuring a smooth texture.

Lightly dust the cocktail with freshly ground black pepper as a garnish to enhance its aromatic profile.
