Instructions

The Basil Whisper is an aromatic and refreshing cocktail that combines the crispness of gin with the subtle peppery notes of fresh basil. This drink is perfect for a warm summer afternoon or as a sophisticated start to your evening. Served in a chilled coupe glass to enhance its elegant and refined presentation. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (Preferably a botanical gin for more depth) - 3/4 oz Fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz Simple syrup - 4-5 Fresh basil leaves (plus extra for garnish) - 1 Egg white (for a frothy texture, optional) - Sparkling water (to top off) - Ice Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the basil leaves with simple syrup to release their aroma. Be careful not to shred the basil, as a gentle press is all that's needed. 2. Add the gin, fresh lemon juice, and egg white (if using) into the shaker. Fill the shaker with ice. 3. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds if using the egg white (to ensure it's well frothed), or just until well chilled if not. 4. Double strain the mix into a chilled coupe glass to remove ice shards and basil residues. This step ensures a smooth, refined sip. 5. Gently top off with a splash of sparkling water to add a subtle effervescence. 6. Garnish with a basil leaf floated on top or a simple lemon twist for a dash of color and an enticing aroma. The Basil Whisper offers a harmonious blend of herbal, citrus, and floral notes, with a delightful fizz and creamy texture (if using egg white) that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more.
