Original recipe is solid. I also tried making it with Gin Mare, which is Mediterranean style with basil as a botanical, and upped it to 70 ml. That was a different drink, but also quite good.

Reminiscent of a Vodka Gimlet, but with basil. Simple and elegant. I used Bone Black 104 proof vodka.

Doesn't top the original, but very good. I used Old Raj Blue and Chinola.

Blackberry taste was light, but just enough. Was extremely good with Barr Hill Vodka, which added a little honey flavor, while simple syrup takes off the burn.
