GIN BASIL SMASH COCKTAIL RECIPE - DIFFORD'S GUIDE



Gin Basil Smash Cocktail Recipe - Difford's Guide image

Jörg, the creator of this cocktail, says, "Better too much, than not enough basil in this drink". He also specifies that the basil is muddled rather than just broken by the action of shaking as this produces a greener drink. He also says, "keep in mind: 5 cl Gin is not enough. 6 cl Gin is the recipe 7 cl Gin is LOVE."

GIN BASIL SMASH COCKTAIL RECIPE RECIPE | EPICURIOUS



Gin Basil Smash Cocktail Recipe Recipe | Epicurious image

A perfect accent for an outdoor supper during tomato season. In winter, it revives the palate as an aperitif. This drink demonstrates so ably how fresh ingredients can be incorporated into everyday drinking cocktails. Head to your kitchen garden or snag a big bunch of basil at the farmers’ market, and you’re mere steps from a living drink that will make your head dizzy. This drink smashes basil, but you can smash anything—tarragon, thyme, cilantro, or kefir lime leaves. Let this drink inspire you. We like to host a garden party with an assortment of fresh herbs and gins, and let friends muddle their way through an array of flavors.
