Fresh basil and a small gentian-liqueur measure bring a botanical counterpoint to mango syrup, gin and lime. Shaking briefly extracts the torn leaves, which are then strained out before a fresh leaf finishes the glass.

Active preparation: 3 minutes

Ingredients

• 15 ml Liber & Co. Alphonso Mango Syrup
• 45 ml London dry gin
• 7.5 ml Suze gentian liqueur
• 22.5 ml Fresh lime juice
• 2 leaf Fresh basil leaves
• 1 leaf Fresh basil leaf, for garnish

Instructions

1. Tear the two recipe basil leaves once or twice and add them to a shaker with gin, Suze, mango syrup and lime.
2. Fill with cubed ice and shake firmly until cold.
3. Fine-strain into a chilled coupe without ice.
4. Float a separate fresh basil leaf on the surface.
