Can’t say I really liked this. It seemed too sweet and sort of heavy.

Very good! The basil gives it a definite herbal scent and flavor. Don’t scrimp on the basil. If you love basil, you can’t make a mistake.

Some might find this too sweet, but it is perfect for my taste. I use 1:1 simple syrup since I find the 2:1 a bit too sweet. I love the brandy and the slightly different taste of the Patronage instead of Cointreau.

Alright I confess. Since i don't like tequila, i made this with gin which is pretty much a last word. Truth is that I really wanted to try the lavender syrup and bitters. I really liked the lavender but I love a last word just as it is so I'll probably stick with that.
