  • 4 leaves Thai basil, plus 1 for garnish
  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 1 ounce fresh lemon or lime juice
  • ½ ounce simple syrup 
Preparation

Muddle chiles and basil at the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add the remaining ingredients, shake well with ice, then strain into a chilled martini glass or coupe. Garnish with the basil.
