Cherry Basil Smash | The Garnished Glass

Directions

Start with 3 or 4 basil leaves and give them a smack to let the aromatics shine through. Add the basil to your cup then add in .75oz of lime juice, 1oz of your simple syrup, and 2oz of your favorite Gin. While I don't like Gin that much my current favorite is  called Bohane. To your shaker add some ice and shake till your fingers feel numb or there is a slight chill on the outside of the shaker. Double strain into a highball glass, top it with club soda and garnish with a cherry.

Enjoy and Drink Responsibly!
