11125 The Concord Fizz 5 minutes 5 minutes 1 drink Wed Oct 03 09:58:00 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 05 11:56:49 -0700 2007 CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/11125 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 18:56:49 GMT Herbal, grapy, and delicious From the Square Off cocktail competition finals, this grape-based cocktail is elegant and refreshing. This one reminded me of summers at my grandma and grandpa’s farm. I love the grapy taste of Concords, and the basil added a very pleasant herby flavor. The color is gorgeous! If you don’t have lemon basil, Thai basil, lemon thyme, or lemon verbena is also great in this drink.

This was a final competition cocktail in the CHOW Cocktail Square Off, a cocktail recipe contest copresented with Square One® Organic Vodka and Om Organics.
