- 10 Basil
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and pour into chilled cocktail glass.
Basil shaken hard with gin, lemon and sugar until the leaves bruise and the drink turns a startling grass green. It tastes exactly as it looks: peppery, aromatic basil sitting on top of a tart gin sour, herbaceous without being savoury. Created in Hamburg in 2008 and now on menus everywhere. One of the few modern classics that is genuinely easy to make at home.
