Basil Gin Sour
Aromatic and refreshing!

30ml Adventurers Gin
15ml Matahui Limecello
15ml lemon juice
30ml cloudy apple juice
30-50ml Fever Tree Soda Water (optional)
Muddle the basil and gin together in a Boston shaker, then add the Limecello, lemon juice and apple juice. Add ice and shake for 20-30 seconds. Strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with ice. Garnish with a basil leaf.
For a slightly longer version, add a small amount of soda water and gently stir to mix before garnishing.
