Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cucumber Infused Gin

    If you haven't prepared cucumber-infused gin yet, slice half a cucumber and let it infuse in 375 ml of Silks Gin for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Muddle Fresh Basil

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

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cucumber-infused Silks Gin, basil syrup, and house sour mix to the shaker with the muddled basil.

  4. 4

    Add Ice and Shake

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

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with cucumber slices and a sprig of basil.
