We had this one before eating the beef filet pasta. Superb version of the Gimlet.

While on a quest to find the PERFECT Basil Gimlet recipe, I conducted a couple of side-by-side experiments to find the one that yields a beautifully balanced cocktail. This is it. I recommend following it to the letter, with the one exception being adding more basil than called for. I tried this with Beefeater Lemon Ginger gin - non-starter, and again with Aviation, Nope! I'd stick with a London Dry.

Tart, refreshing, summery. Feels more extravagant than a GnT.

Delicious use of a garden herb in a non gimmicky way. I had some diy lime cordial on hand, which was very easy to make and worthwhile.
