Cucumber basil smash
Ingredients
- 37 millilitres (1.25 ounce) vodka
- 7 millilitres (1/4 ounce) St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur
- 22 millilitres (3/4 ounce) lime juice
- 9 millilitres (1/3 ounce) simple syrup
- 6 cucumber slices
- 2 sprigs basil
- 15 millilitres (1/2 ounce) soda
Directions
- In a Collins glass, layer ice and three cucumber slices. Grab a shaker and muddle the rest of the cucumber slices and one sprig of Basil. Add the rest of the ingredients (except soda), fill with ice and give this a vigorous shake. Strain over prepped glass and top with soda. Garnish with basil sprig.
- To add a bit of complexity to this, you can use Orgeat Syrup (aka almond syrup) that would pair beautifully with this bright, refreshing cocktail.
