Basil Lime Rum Fizz Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1 pasteurized egg white, 1 1/2 ounces gin, 3/4 ounce lemon juice, 1/2 ounce simple syrup and 1/4 ounce each dry red wine and crème de violette in a shaker; shake 30 seconds. Add ice and shake 30 more seconds. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a coupe and garnish with an edible flower.

Steps:

• Muddle 8 large mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. Add 1 egg white, 2 ounces gold rum, 1 ounce thawed frozen orange juice concentrate and 1/2 ounce each lime juice, simple syrup and heavy cream; shake 30 seconds. Add ice and shake 30 more seconds. Strain into a glass and top with seltzer. Garnish with an orange slice.

Steps:

• Place the water and sugar in a pan, bring to a boil, and simmer for 4 minutes with the lime zest. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool for a while. Add the lime juice and basil puree. Stir this up and leave to infuse for a while. Pass it through a coarse sieve and pour into a plastic tub or earthenware dish and place in the freezer. Generally, sorbet takes 2 hours to set. Try to stir it around every 30 minutes, if you remember. Serve it in a glass on its own.
