Very tasty, enough to try again and re-rate with the proper basil (I only had Thai basil, which I think made this a bit more bitter than it would be regular basil). I'll also back off on the simple a bit, as it was a tad sweet for me.

I muddled the basil leaves in the tin before shaking and fine straining. A superlative and strong summer refresher.

Basil=Summer=Gin. Very nice.

Just mixed this little beauty and it is lovely...not for the faint hearted and don't overdo the French nutter drink or it will overwhelm the cocktail

Well that seems interesting; I don't have basil but will it ASAP once I collect some
