GIN BASIL SMASH
A perfect accent for an outdoor supper during tomato season. In winter, it revives the palate as an aperitif. This drink demonstrates so ably how fresh ingredients can be incorporated into everyday drinking cocktails. Head to your kitchen garden or snag a big bunch of basil at the farmers' market, and you're mere steps from a living drink that will make your head dizzy. This drink smashes basil, but you can smash anything-tarragon, thyme, cilantro, or kefir lime leaves. Let this drink inspire you. We like to host a garden party with an assortment of fresh herbs and gins, and let friends muddle their way through an array of flavors.

5/5 (1)Published Jun 1, 2022Category Beverages, Recipe Roundup
- Gin Basil Smash. I know what you’re thinking, but no, that’s not a mojito on your screen. It is pretty similar, though. There are two primary differences between this drink and a mojito.
- Grapefruit Basil Vodka Smash. This lightly pink drink is bright and zingy. Want to save this recipe? Enter your email below and we'll send the recipe straight to your inbox!
- Peach Basil Frosé. If you haven’t jumped on the frosé bandwagon yet, you need to. I mean, they’re wine slushies! What’s not to love about that?! This one is especially nice.
- Strawberry-Basil Limoncello Martini. This drink takes a little longer to make than others on the list. Fortunately, you can still have it ready in 15 minutes or less.
- Blended Basil Martini. This bright green martini looks like something the Grinch would enjoy. And why shouldn’t he?! Sitting in a cave judging Whoville is taxing work!
- Pomegranate Mimosas with Fresh Basil. Mimosas are bubbly, sweet, full of orange flavor, and are not too strong. These elegant drinks are all of those things, only with pomegranate!
- Frozen Cucumber Basil Daiquiri. Don’t you just love drinks with cucumbers in them? I know I do. Cucumber drinks are so soothing and restorative. Maybe it’s a Pavlovian association between cucumbers and spas.
- Basil Gimlet. Typically, Gimlets combine simple syrup, gin, and lime juice. This one sticks closely to that recipe. However, you’ll also muddle about eight basil leaves in each glass.
- Basil Lemon Drop. Do you enjoy Lemon Drop candy? What about the Lemon Drop cocktail? I’m a pretty big fan of both. They’re so bright, tart, and lemony!
- Pimm’s Cup. Pimm’s Cup is a unique, full-flavored cocktail that combines a little bit of everything. There are lemons, strawberries, basil, cucumbers, and more.
