The “Gin Basil Smash”
Cocktail created in 2008 in Hamburg by a German bartender.
Recipe :
Gin 60 ml
Fresh squeezed lemon juice (yellow lemon) 30 ml
Sugar syrup 15 ml
Basil 8 to 12 leaves
Technical: shake and filter (In order to remove basil deposits that are not very pleasant to taste)
This cocktail can be served with or without ice, very chilled.
Decoration: A beautiful Basil leaf.
“The Oily Mommy”
“It’s one of my creations, made during confinement” tells us Nicolas Podda of the Hôtel restaurant Beau-Soleil in Le Lavandou.
Recipe :
Egg white 15 to 20 ml (which is more or less the same as egg white)
Basil 8 to 12 leaves
Gin 50 ml
Fresh squeezed lemon juice (yellow lemon) 30 ml
Pepper syrup
1 bar of extra virgin olive oil.
Technical: Shake with ice cubes, filter (In order to remove the basil deposits that are not very pleasant to taste) and shake for a second without ice cubes (In order to break the proteins present in the egg white and create an emulsion, which will allow us to have a nice foam).
Decoration: Pepper, olive oil, basil head, eggshell.
Be careful if you like pepper you can very well make a much spicier pepper syrup by increasing the quantity of pepper.
Little tip for the two cocktails and any other “shaker” cocktails for that matter; If you do not have a professional shaker, I am sure that you all have airtight jars such as jam jars or other protein shakers at home, etc.
So no excuses, enjoy!!
Now, it is your turn
While waiting to enjoy a delicious cocktail with friends, you can prepare one of these cocktails at home. Do not hesitate to share with us your creations in photos.
