Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Muddle the Basil

    In a cocktail shaker, muddle the fresh basil leaves gently to release their aroma.

  3. 3

    Shake

    Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

  4. 4

    Strain

    Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. If you used egg white, you can double strain to remove any foam.

    Garnish with a basil leaf or a fig slice, if desired.
