Ingredients
- 6 large Thai basil leaves plus more for garnish
- ½ ounce simple syrup
- ¾ ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 ½ ounces gin
- 1 ounce St. Germain
Instructions
- Place the basil leaves in a cocktail shaker and add the simple syrup and lime juice. Muddle the basil leaves with a muddler or the bottom of a wooden spoon to release the oils.
- Add the gin and St Germain and fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
- Using a strainer, pour the mixture into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a sprig of Thai Basil.
Notes
- To make simple syrup, heat equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Transfer it to a clean jar and let it cool. Simple syrup will keep in the refrigerator for several months.
