Instructions:

1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the basil leaves and cucumber slices together to release their flavors.
2. Add the citrus basil vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
3. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill the mixture.
4. Strain the mixture into shot glasses or small glassware of your choice.
5. Optionally, you can garnish each shot with a small basil leaf or cucumber slice for an added touch of freshness.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant and herbaceous Garden Shots!

Note: If you prefer a stronger basil flavor, you can muddle a few additional basil leaves and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve before pouring into the shot glasses. Adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less simple syrup according to your taste preference.

Cheers to a garden-inspired vodka shot experience with a citrusy twist!
