Instructions
Start by gently muddling the fresh basil in your shaker to release those aromatic oils. Add the gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and plenty of ice, then shake it hard until well-chilled. Fine-strain the drink into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice and top it with a nice basil sprig for a beautiful aroma.
