I used an old bottle of 'limoncino' that I found under a chair in a seldom used room:) avoided the sweetness of limoncello (which I generally dislike) and made a very nice and complex drink. Never would have tried this if not for you Mr Difford & my scratch off 100 cocktail poster;)

This one is a bit too sweet and intense as written. I tried replacing the lemon juice with lime juice and the result was noticeably better balanced, allowing the basil and the limoncello's herbal notes to shine through.
