Equipment

  • 2 Glasses
  • 1 cocktail muddler

Ingredients

  • 10 basil leaves
  • 20 g Finger Lime
  • 100 ml (4 fl oz) London Dry Gin
  • 4 ice cubes
  • 2 small bottles of tonic water about 150ml/6 fl oz each
  • 2 small top end basil sprigs
  • 2 slices of regular lime

Instructions

  • The basil leaves should be divided in half and put in the appropriate cups.
  • Basil leaves should be crushed with a cocktail muddler or the back of a teaspoon to release their essential oils and scent.
  • To the glass, add the ice cubes (2 each).
  • Australian finger limes should be squeezed into the glass (half a lime each).
  • 50ml (2 fl oz) of gin should be added to each glass.
  • Tonic water can be added on top in any amount. It depends on your taste, but I just use roughly the same quantity as the gin.
  • Stir it up, then top with lime slices and basil sprigs.
