Every month I throw a small get together at my home called, The Nerd Salon. As part of each event, guests bring either homemade food or the ingredients for a cocktail.
The cocktails they bring go on a menu and each guest makes the cocktail they brought for anyone who wants one.
One of the great things about hosting The Nerd Salon is that each month I practice making a different cocktail. This month the cocktail is a Basil Gimlet that I make with my own homegrown basil.
I thought it would be fun - each month - to share how each drink is made with the Steemit community.
Basil Gimlet
Ingredients:
4 Large Basil Leaves
1/2 Oz. Simple Syrup
3/4 Oz. Lime Juice (Fresh Squeezed)
1 1/2 Oz. Gin
Step 1: Choose 4 Large Basil Leaves.
Step 2: Press 3 Basil Leaves in a cocktail Shaker.
Press lightly!
Step 3: Add 1/2 Oz. Simple Syrup.
Buy it or make it yourself.
Step 4: Add 3/4 Oz. Lime Juice.
Fresh Squeezed is better, but I've also made it with those little green bottles of lime juice.
Step 5: Add 1 1/2 Oz. Gin.
For this specific drink, I used an Old Tom Gin.
Step 6: Add Ice and Shake.
Step 7: Strain
Step 8: Add The Last Basil Leaf and Drink!
Step 9: Enjoy!
This is the best step.
Thanks for Reading!

Little basil fact: "Its a Immune System Booster! Basil contains apigenin, which is a bioflavonoid generally found in leafy plants and vegetables and contributes to a healthy immune system. Be sure to include basil in your diet, especially during the winter months."
