Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Basil

    In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh basil leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the basil to release its essential oils.

  2. 2

    Add Gin and Citrus

    Pour in the London Dry Gin and fresh lemon juice into the shaker with the muddled basil.

  3. 3

    Add Simple Syrup

    Add the simple syrup to the shaker. This will balance the tartness of the lemon juice.

  4. 4

    Shake the Mixture

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well-chilled.

Serving

  1. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Top with club soda for a refreshing fizz.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a lemon wheel and a sprig of basil for an aromatic finish.
