TGIF – The Baasen Bootleg Recipe

 

 

 

The Bootleg is our new favorite summer sipper.  We can’t imagine any drink being more refreshing on a hot summer day!  In fact, we had the pleasure of being introduced to this drink this past 4th of July by our friends, Robin and Andrew Baasen of Lake Bluff.  It is thought that this citrus, minty drink originated at a country club in Minnesota, however, it is still unclear which one.  One thing is clear, however, we think that our friends recipe for this drink is the best!   How cute to serve it out of Jam Jars or these.  Enjoy!

Bootleg Mix:
1 can frozen lemonade concentrate
1 can frozen limeade concentrate
Between 1 to 1.5 cups of finely chopped fresh mint
Blend all ingredients in blender or w/ hand blender

In a lowball glass over ice add vodka or gin, one shot of bootleg mix, top off w/ soda & wedge of lime.
