3 fresh Basil leaves
2 fl oz Gin (Thresh&Winnow Forét)
1 fl oz Elderflower liqueur (St. Germain)
1⁄2 fl oz Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
2 dash Grapefruit Bitters
2 dash VÉGÉTAL de la Grande-Chartreuse
2 fl oz Tonic water
Not your father’s G&T. The basil brings a fresh sweet and peppery herbal finish and tamps down the St Germain sweetness. I used a Shiso leaf gin to bring more botanicals to the table and a touch of the VdlG-C. Of course lemon and basil are a natural match.
