This is delicious and very refreshing! Basil and cherry tomatoes came from a friend's garden; unclear what type of basil other than both it and the tomatoes were picked fresh!

Used Plantation 3 Star and opted for pickle brine over olive as it felt brighter. Borderline savory cocktail. Probably could pare the orgeat to 1/4 so I didn't need 2 jiggers but a logistical quibble.

Thai sweet basil or Genovese sweet basil? They’re both good in this cocktail, the Thai basil giving that aniseedy twist, the Genovese a Mediterranean balance.
