Keep the top 20s coming please, I think we all find them such a great source of ideas new and old. New things to think about and old things we've not tried yet. You have so many wonderful drinks on here that if you're just trying to search it can be a bit overwhelming, this is a great way to curate the database down in to relevant and interesting bite size chunks. Somehow I've never done a gin basil smash! To be rectified very soon.

Will be trying this tonight, maybe both vodka and gin variants, just to be thorough obviously :)
Anyway at 15ml egg white (about half of one) there should be a decent head on this but neither photo shows that. That looks more like natural aeration from a good shake.
I think I'd prefer it without the foamy top anyway so will probably leave it out but were the photos taken without egg white? Just curious.

Love this version, I'd probably still go with the original if I had to choose but this really works. I vibed off the original slightly differently and swapped the sugar syrup for Monin green tea syrup to make the Mai Chai - https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/36108/mai-chai

Saw the discussion on this start up again yesterday, I'd forgotten just how lovely these are. Lots of versions with slight differences, I just added a couple of touches to increase the raspberry flavour and the pink colour.
