The Garden Gimlet

Ingredients:

•  Glass – small coupe (or any glass with 4.5 ounce capacity)
•  Method – muddle; shake & fine-strain
•  Garnish – thyme sprig
•  4 large basil leaves
•  .5 oz. bar syrup
•  Muddle lightly
•  .5 oz. fresh lime juice
•  1.5 oz. organic gin or vodka

Instructions: lightly muddle the basil leaves with bar syrup in the bottom of an empty mixing glass. Add lime juice and vodka. Add ice last. Cap the mixing glass with a shaker tin and shake hard for 10 seconds. Strain through a small, fine mesh strainer (helps catch those little pieces of basil and ice chips) into your cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.

Sip. Savor. Repeat.
