Strawberry & Basil

• 总时间: 1 hour

配料

Thai Basil Vodka, Basil Eau De Vie, Strawberry Cordial, Absinthe

Strawberry and Basil are such a good combo together, but often, they exist suspended as solids in the cocktail. So, how do we make a more pleasant drinking experience?

I tried to freeze infuse thai basil in vodka, inspired by @handshake_bar prep for their caprese cocktail, and while it did taste like thai basil, it wasnt the bright basil flavor i expected. I won’t share the specs for this publically just yet but dm if you want a good starting point.

On the other hand, I learned that making strawberry water is fairly accessible, provided you have time and pectinex. Then, sugar, citric, and malic acids are added to make a clear strawberry cordial.

步骤

Combine the thai basil vodka with strawberry cordial, add a bit of basil eau de vie, and a spritz of absinthe, and you got a great tasty summer cocktail.
