First time creating a community like this! r/cocktails was one of my favorite subreddits and I wanted to move it over. Posting here to get some content started and I hope you enjoy!
Recipie:
- 6-10 basil leaves (depending on size)
- 2 oz dry gin
- ½ oz Elderflower liqueur
- 1 oz Lime Juice
- ½ oz Honey syrup
Muddle Basil leaves in gin, then add in remaining ingredients. Shake with ice and double strain into glass. Garnish with a basil sprig. (side note: using purple basil makes the drink turn a lovely pink.)
Most syrups I do 1:1, but the honey syrup I like to do 2:1 since it’s already partly liquid.
