Gin Basil Smash
Created in the summer of 2008 by Jörg Meyer at Le Lion Bar de Paris, Hamburg, Germany and originally named Gin Pesto.
Ingredients
- 2-1/4 oz Tanqueray London Dry Gin
- 1 oz Lemon Juice
- 3/4 oz Simple Syrup 1:1
- 8 x Basil (Organic)
Method
Better too much than not enough basil, the drink should be green in color from the muddling, but not too dark and bitter. Muddle a handful of fresh basil in shaker. Add ingredients with fresh ice and shake for 10-12 seconds. Double strain to avoid chunks of basil in the glass. Serve on rocks with a sprig of basil for garnish.
