This quick gin cocktail recipe has become a classic - because it tastes absolutely delicious and is incredibly easy to make (if you love easy cocktails? Check out these ones right here). In the market for a cocktail that is equal parts refreshing and equal parts zingy? Then you’re in the right place!
It’s the perfect option if you’re craving a ginny tipple and want something light and not too sweet. Gorgeously green, this dreamy Gin Basil Smash was first made using February 2019 Gin of the Month - and the flavours come together so well, we’re rating it simply out of this world (if we do say so ourselves!). It really is the simple things in life…
5 or 6 fresh basil leaves, plus extra to garnish
60ml gin
20ml simple syrup
20ml lime juice
First, add basil leaves to a cocktail shaker and crush with a pestle. Then add the liquids, shake well and strain into a cocktail coupe. Garnish with a basil leaf to serve. Cheers!
