Gin Basil Smash (Bergamot)
I guess everbody knows gin basil smash. It is a simple and delicious modern classic which is one of my favorites. I try to stick to the original recipe but only replaced the simple syrup with bergamot cordial (the cordial does not have the 1:1 sugar/water ratio so that I used a little bit more). I guess you are not surprised with this twist since you might have realized that when there is basil I can’t help myself using bergamot. 🙂 And try it with Gin Mare if you have it 🤘🏻
