Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 1/2 oz gin Empress 1908 brand
  • 1 1/2 oz cucumber juice cold pressed
  • 1 1/2 oz lime juice
  • 1 1/4 oz simple syrup recipe in comments, basil flavored
  • 6 oz tonic water Fever Tree Refreshingly Light brand

Instructions

  1. Divide cucumber juice, lime juice, and basil simple syrup evenly between two highball glasses. Add ice, then add tonic water and stir gently.
  2. To float the Empress 1908 Gin on top of the other ingredients, gently pour the gin over the back of a bar spoon into the glasses.
  3. Garnish with cucumber, lime, and basil leaves as desired. Be sure to stir completely before drinking!

Notes

  • Basil Simple Syrup: Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and remove from heat. Add 6-8 basil leaves, stir, and cover the saucepan. Rest for 10 minutes, remove the basil leaves and set aside to cool.
