Inspired by one of my fellow bartender friend’s, I never would have imagined mixing herbs in my drinks. I’m also thankful to have been introduced to gin, by this same friend. I’ve grown from my college shot days into a sophisticated gin drinker. Using fresh basil, definitely makes a big difference. It’s refreshing, fresh and you can’t stop at just one. It’s the perfect summer drink to enjoy on a hot summer day or at a girl’s night. Hope you get a chance to try it out!
