Nearly 4 years ago, I proposed a cocktail recipe that has remained orphaned on the blog. It was Thaïzeed (recipe HERE), made with chilli, combava and ginger. I don’t usually post alcohol recipes here, but I recently went to a delicious restaurant in Shanghai that offered this basil cocktail. Very surprising at first, it is in the second that follows, totally delicious ! For me, this is hands down, the cocktail of summer 2017. All my friends are already raving about it!
- 125g of sugar
- 30g of basil
- 165ml lime juice
- 225ml of water
- iced vodka (put in the freezer the day before)
- crushed ice
For this delicious cocktail, use organic basil!
First, squeeze the lime juice, you need at least 165ml of it. That’s about 5 limes.
Pour the juice, water, sugar and basil into a blender.
And mix to have a green liquid without any trace of basil leaf.
Prepare the glasses.
Put in half of the crushed ice.
Pour in a third of the iced vodka and top up with the mixed base.
Enjoy without delay!
