Leviste Street, Makati City Now this is a drink you’d be torn whether you’re going to share or keep to yourself. It smells fresh and goes down smooth. It’s citrusy with a hint of basil. Choose to dispense in a shot glass or on the rocks. Ingredients: 150 ml Ginebra gin 50 simple syrup 50 ml calamansi juice basil leaves Directions: Transfer gin to a container. Clap 8 basil leaves and put it in a shaker together with syrup and calamansi juice. Add ice and shake. Put some basil leaves inside gin bottle, then pour the cocktail into the bottle. NOTE: This recipe makes 3 batches (2 servings per batch). If keeping overnight, remove basil leaves to prevent mixture from getting bitter.
