Refreshing. The basil and creme de mure add some subtle complexity. Seems like a good option to be added to the list of "Summer" drinks here on DG.

Thanks, Peter. I've tagged as a summer cocktail.

A sort of cross between a Bramble and a Basil Smash. I think I prefer either a Bramble or the Basil Smash but not both together.

Maybe we have especially sour lemons, but I would cut the lemon at least ⅓.

Great flavours but extremely sweet as written. I cut the syrup in half and reduced the lemon a little to compensate and it was lovely.

Instead of simple syrup, I used half maple syrup and half elderflower syrup, for more complexity on the sweet side. This drink can also serve as base for a longer drink like a cooler, with added soda water.

we really liked this, quite refreshing taste, how ever i would strongly recommend making your own sugar syrup, so as you can control how much sugar is used
