Basil Gimlet
Longtucky Spirits
4.5/5.0
Let's start out with the disclaimer. I’m not big on mixed drinks, and I don’t usually enjoy gin. This drink is delightful, light, refreshing, and goes down very smooth. A perfect drink to sip in some shade during on a sunny day. What’s probably the most delightful part is that you can taste all the ingredients. Nothing is overpowering in this drink. The florals from the gin play nicely with those of the basil. The whole thing is accented by the lime, not dominated by it. Delightful.
