Another balmy night. One more day to go before the official start of summer. Let’s drink to that. Chill out and cool off with this very refreshing cocktail of gin, limoncello and basil. Build in a glass or better still a pitcher.
Limoncello, Bombay Sapphire and Basil Cooler.
For one very tall glass or two short
2 oz Bombay Sapphire Gin
1 oz Limoncello
1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
tonic water
lemon slices and sprigs of basil to garnish
plenty of crushed ice.
BUILD in a tall glass half filled with ice.
TOP with tonic water.
STIR gently.
GARNISH with lemon slices and sprigs of basil.

Now that looks like a great start to any night; we drink ours with a long slice of cucumber rather than the lemon, gives a really nice lingering freshness!.. Enjoy
I’ll try that tonight. With temperatures soaring to 40 C today in Sydney its going to be a thirsty night.
So did you drink one glass or a whole jugful??? Mwahaha…
