Cucumber-basil-sour

CUCUMBER-BASIL-SOUR

Summer in a glass
Good day y'all! Today I present you with a very summer-y drink called the Cucumber-basil-sour! It is a gin based cocktail but even for those who don't like the taste profile of gin, the sourness and flavors from both the cucumber and basil will work wonders! It's also a very refreshing drink! What you'll need:

  • 4 cl gin (prefer a lighter one)
  • 2 cl lemon juice
  • 2 cl simple syrup
  • 1 egg white (smaller)
  • 3 slices of cucumber
  • 5 leaves of basil
As we have egg white in this drink, dryshake before adding ice and shaking again. Moreover, you can gently muddle the cucumber/basil before shaking to extract as much flavor as possible.

I love how cucumber is such a great ingredient in cocktails giving them tons of flavor to it. With the herbal notes in this one and the texture given by the egg, it's a summer's "must try this one!" drink! I approve!
