About
A quick cocktail recipe

The Gin Basil Cucumber is a refreshing twist on the classic gin cocktail, blending the herbaceous notes of fresh basil with the cool, crisp flavor of cucumber. Light, aromatic, and effortlessly revitalizing, it’s the perfect drink for those who enjoy a herbal kick in their cocktails. With its clean, botanical profile, this drink is ideal for warm afternoons or sophisticated evening gatherings. A simple yet elegant way to elevate any occasion.

This is a must-try cocktail and easy to prep at home. This is how you do it:

1 | Muddle the cucumber slices and basil leaves gently in a cocktail shaker to release their flavors.

2 | Pour in 60 ml of gin. Top with 120-150 ml of chilled tonic water.

3 | Fill the shaker with ice and shake well until chilled.

4 | Strain into a glass filled with ice. Top with soda water to your taste.

5 | Garnish with a cucumber slice or a sprig of fresh basil.
