Gin Basil Smash

IBA
0

Gin shaken hard with lemon juice, simple syrup and a generous handful of muddled-in basil. It is bright and green, with sharp citrus up front and a herbal, slightly peppery finish.

The Gin Basil Smash was initially described with just 5 cl of gin. It later got an update after a video demonstration at Le Lion.
