How are my friends, welcome to a new video
today we are going to make the gin basil smash
The origin of this drink is attributed to jorg meyer
this man is the owner of the bar the lion in hamburg germany
It is said that another name of this cocktail may be the gin pesto
Since albahaca and basil have a lot of relationship it is almost the same
for the ingredients you will need
lots of basil or lemon yellow basil
our sensational basil syrup or basil syrup
and the gin of your preference in this case I'm going to use tanqueray
the method of this cocktail is agitated therefore they will need their shakers
the first ingredient
a lot of basil we are going to introduce it into the small shaker
and according to its creator
not only the leaves, but with everything and stem
with the help of a muddle we are going to press all the leaves and the stem
we go
next ingredient the yellow lemon we are going to press it on the table
to get the juice much easier
we cut the poles as always
and of yellow lemon we are going to squeeze up to an ounce
the lemon upside down in the squeezer and let's go
to squeeze in the jigger until you get an ounce
next ingredient my basil syrup
or also albahacal syrup in Spanish
but the original recipe is simple syrup
believe me that with this basil syrup
it will be much tastier
how much syrup three-quarters of an ounce
I have not tried it, I know that this cocktail is five stars my god it smells so good
with the gin we are going to serve
70 ml or 2 ounces and a little more
we are ready all the ingredients we are going to place ice
we close the shaker a good bang and let's shake
After my sexy shaking
let's open the shaker we pass the last drops the small tin
towards the big one
and with the help of my worm strainer and my fine strainer
sorry I have this homemade fine strainer
but it still works
this cocktail have to be double strained
because when we press the basil
and we shake the shaker they will destroy the leaves and stems
therefore you have to clean the cocktail with the strainers
the gin basil has to be served in a rocks glass
oooo look at that color
To keep the temperature we are going to add some spheres of ice
and for the garnish some basil leaves
we simply place it on the top
and guala here you have your gin basil smash
gin basil smash more let's try it
upale
first it is very botanical it has too much aroma
the color is sensational
and it's part of the sours family
Make this cocktail at home or at the bar and believe me, you will not really regret it, it is super tasty
