An abundance of basil growing behind Restaurant Eve inspired this drink. Mixologist Todd Thrasher created six basil cocktails, rotating them on the menu at PX. This one had the most fanatical following. More Gin Cocktails

Lovely! What a fresh, nice drink. Fresh basil from the garden, a bit of Empress gin to give it a slight mauve aspect, floated a basil leaf on top. Perfect!

Delightful cocktail. I suggest slightly less simple syrup, and slightly more gin. This change improved the 2nd try quite a bit.
