Micro Basil Cocktail
Our Micro Basil Herb Mix is made up of green, purple, and lemon basil microgreens, which are young, tender versions of the full-sized basil herb. They hold a lot of flavor in their tiny leaves; the combination of these basil varieties is fresh, slightly peppery and lemony, and together enhance drinks and dishes alike.
The Micro Basil Herb Mix is perfect to freshen up a traditional gin and tonic. Here’s how to make it, with a mocktail option for those who prefer alcohol-free drinks.
Micro Basil Cocktail Recipe
Ingredients:
Small bunch of basil microgreens
Ice
2 parts gin
4 parts tonic water
1/2 part lime juice
Lime wedge and extra basil microgreens for garnish
Instructions:
Take a small bunch of basil microgreens, slap them between your hands, and roll them gently between your palms for a few seconds to release their oils.
Place the basil microgreens in a glass, then fill the glass with ice.
Add 2 parts gin, 4 parts tonic water, and 1/2 part lime juice.
Stir well, then garnish with a few sprigs of basil microgreens and a lime wedge.
Mocktail Version
For a refreshing alcohol-free option, simply replace the gin with sparkling water or club soda and follow the same steps.
