The Basil Gimlet takes the classic gin-lime formula and runs it through an herb garden. Muddled basil lends a peppery, slightly sweet vegetal note that softens the gimlet's characteristic tartness while amplifying the botanical qualities of the gin. The result is bright and aromatic, with a clean finish that makes it dangerously easy to drink.
