Gin Basil Smash cocktail

Gin Basil Smash Recipe

The Gin Basil Smash is a vibrant and herbaceous cocktail made by muddling fresh basil leaves with gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup. The basil adds a fragrant, herbal note that pairs beautifully with the citrusy tang of the lemon. Shaken with ice and served over crushed ice, it’s a refreshing, slightly sweet drink that showcases the bright flavors of summer.
