Instructions

Description: Basil Bliss Gin Fizz is a refreshing and aromatic cocktail that perfectly balances the botanicals in gin with the fresh, green notes of basil and the bright acidity of lemon juice. It’s sweetened just right with simple syrup, making it an ideal choice for a summer evening or a sophisticated gathering. This cocktail not only tantalizes the taste buds but also captivates the olfactory senses with its herbal bouquet. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (preferably a botanical gin for enhanced flavor) - 1 oz Fresh lemon juice - 3/4 oz Simple syrup - 4-6 Fresh basil leaves (plus extra for garnish) - Soda water to top - Ice Glass: - Highball glass Instructions: 1. In a shaker, gently muddle the basil leaves with the lemon juice and simple syrup to release the basil’s aroma and oils. Be careful not to over-muddle, as you want to avoid turning the basil into a paste. 2. Add the gin and a handful of ice to the shaker. 3. Shake well until the outside of the shaker feels cold. 4. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice, ensuring that any larger pieces of basil are left behind. 5. Top with soda water for a refreshing fizz. 6. Gently stir to combine. 7. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil or a thin lemon wheel for an extra touch of elegance. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors that make the Basil Bliss Gin Fizz a unique and memorable cocktail.
