Gin Basil Smash
Gin, fresh basil, lemon, sugar.
Hand-smashed basil and citrusy gin. The green that perfumes the whole bar.
On the palate: fresh and fruity. An aperitivo pour, when you want something lively.
Did you know?
Jörg Meyer invented it at Le Lion in Hamburg in 2008 and won Diageo's World Class. The secret is smashing the basil hard, not gently stirring it. Here you smell it before you even taste it.
