Basil-Lemon Smash

Ingredients

1.5 - 2 oz 1808 Gin
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup (but sweeten to taste)
8  fresh basil leaves

The Muddle way
Add lemon juice, simple syrup and basil leaves into a sturdy glass or bar shaker.

Muddle the leaves with a muddler or wooden spoon to crush the leaves and get some color in the mix.

Add simple syrup, Gin and ice.  Shake well.

Strain into an ice filled glass.

You can also add all the ingredients in the shaker and just shake the heck out of it and strain it into the ice filled glass.
