Basil Smash
Basil Smash
I had some leftover basil after making a Thai curry and decided to find a cocktail recipe for it. I had a look on Steve the Bartender's app (it's called Shake & Strain) and found this Basil Smash. I promptly de-carbed it and this is the glorious result. It combines my beloved gin with the freshness of lemon and basil, for a perky and bracing result. Another summer refresher in the bag. Food pairing: Thai Keto Red Curry Chicken - Splash of Keto
