Refreshing Tom Collins with Thai Basil

Herbs from your garden are a perfect way to spice up your cocktails. Here is a good example: Thai basil flowers. These small purple flowers, which are intended to be thrown in the compost, are magnificent and very fragrant. So I had the idea of ​​infusing them in gin and the result is super fresh and slightly bitter. All you have to do is put the flowers in a mason jar filled with gin and leave to infuse for a few days in the shade.

Refreshing Tom Collins with Thai Basil –

• 1 ½ oz Thai basilic infused gin
• ½ oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ¼ oz ginger simple syrup
• 1 ½ oz sparkling water

Add all the ingredients in a glass filled with ice cubes, garnish with a Thai basil flower, a slice of lemon and voila! I hope I have made you thirsty and above all have made you want to try other infusions. Cheers!
