A problem with many videos that accompany cocktail recipes is that, by their editing, they obscure important information, in this case for example, for how long and with what ferocity the muddle should be performed. But of course, and thankfully, trial and error are a great teacher.

If Thai basil is used, the drink has some lovely subtle mint notes.

Under "How to make" is indicated "FINE STRAIN into chilled glass". However, both the photo and video make it clear that this should be into an ice-filled chilled glass...which also has the virtue of adding a cute rhyme. File under pedantry.

Very nice, drinking it Collins style in the summer is a perfect summer drink

Very fresh summer cocktail. Perfect for this warm summer evening in Copenhagen.

This is one of my favorite drinks. I just made a party batch using a 1:1 sugar syrup but I infused it with strawberry. It's much sweeter and great for an easy-going party.

Very good, but really hard to crush the basil leaves.

Made with Gray Whale gin, yuzu super juice, and a whole lot of basil. Crisp and refreshing, but with a longer than expected basil finish. An excellent drink that is definitely more than the sum of its parts. Tengentially, I made a basil infusion with the leftover sprigs, a few pink peppercorns, and a very small amount of gentian. Should be fun, or at least interesting.
