Today we had some great weather in Belgium. Perfect sunny weather needs a great fresh cocktail.
One of my favorites is the Basil Collins!
So here is the recipe:
First you need a good Gin, in this cocktail i prefer Gin Mare from Barcelona. For the mediterrenean touch.
Take 5cl or maybe a little bit more depending on your mood.😉
Then mix your sugar sirop with fresh basil leaves in a blender for the best result. Also 5cl.
Then fresh lemon juice, also 5cl to keep it simple.
Shake well in your Boston Shaker, pour it in your glass with a lot of icecubes and top off with sparkling water.
Finishing touch: some fresh basil leaves
Hope you like it guys, give me some feedback!
Ciao
That sounds like a good drink! I've been soaking flowers from the black locust tree (Robinia pseudoacacia) in gin -- and that is so good, too -- like a punch of summer! That basil sounds wonderful -- I'll have to try that! Thanks!
Sounds good, i should also try it.😀
