Somebody erect a statue to celebrate this great genius! I am down to growing my basil in an hydroponics setting, a small leaves variety with a subtle mint aftertaste, it is heaven! I also found that adding a bar spoon of Chartreuse brings some herbal depth.
I feel indebted with Herr Meyer, thank you very much indeed.

I’ve batched this and it was quite successful. Simply pour over ice, shake, and serve over ice.

But my favorite is to top with seltzer. The spritz really stretches the flavors. And while this is a fabulous summer garden or beachside cocktail with its refreshing basil, lime and the virtually hidden gin, the seltzer makes this a drink you can sip on all day long.

Sip on it all day long sounds like a dangerous proposal. I like the way you think!
