Bergamot Breezer

The Bergamot Breezer is a light, refreshing cocktail that highlights the unique citrusy aroma of bergamot infused white rum. The drink is balanced with herbal notes and a touch of sweetness, making it a sophisticated choice for any season. Ingredients: - 2 oz Bergamot Infused White Rum - 0.75 oz St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur - 0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 0.5 oz Simple Syrup - 2-3 Fresh Basil Leaves - 3 oz Soda Water - Ice - Garnish: Sprig of Fresh Basil and a Twist of Bergamot Peel Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the fresh basil leaves with the simple syrup to release the herb’s aromatic oils. 2. Add the bergamot infused white rum, St-Germain, and fresh lime juice to the shaker. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and give it a good shake until the mixture is well chilled. 4. Double strain the mixture into a chilled highball glass over fresh ice to remove any tiny pieces of basil. 5. Top with soda water for a lovely effervescence. 6. Gently stir to combine the ingredients in the glass. 7. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil and a twist of bergamot peel for an extra burst of citrus aroma. Serve the Bergamot Breezer in a highball glass to give ample room for the fizzy soda and allow the garnish to stand out, inviting the drinker to enjoy a multi-sensory experience with every sip.
