How To Make A Gin Basil Smash Cocktail At Home

Today I will show you how to make a Basil Smash Cocktail at home!
About The Basil Smash
---------------------------------------------------
The Basil Smash is a relatively new drink (well, new in the context of cocktails) with an alluring-green tint and a real fresh kick. In fact, the addition of fresh basil means that this drink is basically a vegetable, and certainly a welcome way to get one of your five-a-day :)
The Basil Smash was conceived by Jörg Meyer of the Lion in Hamburg in 2008. The drink quickly became a phenomenon, even winning “Best New Cocktail” at the 2008 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards. There are two variants to the drink - one using green and one using red basil.
I hope that you enjoy this cocktail and share this recipe with friends and family.
