Lemon Basil Gin Fizz

Basil and lemon muddled into gin, then finished with club soda for a lively, herbal summer drink. Fast to shake up and made for warm evenings outdoors.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 leaves basil
• 2 oz gin
• ½ cup club soda
• Lemon slices and basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps

1. In an old-fashioned glass, muddle the sugar, basil, and lemon juice. Fish out the basil leaves if you’d rather not leave them in.
2. Pack the glass with ice, pour in the gin, and finish with club soda.
3. Add lemon slices and fresh basil for garnish if you like.
