We came up with this fresh, summery snifter to coincide with this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, but we liked it so much, we’ve kept it on the menu ever since. Serves one.
40ml gin (we use The Botanist)
20ml gomme syrup
5ml lemon
5ml lime juice
1 sprig fresh basil, to garnish
Put the gin, syrup, lemon and lime juice in a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice and shake hard. Fill a tumbler with crushed ice, strain in the mixture and garnish with basil.
