Basil Noir

AI-generatedMediumCoupe

A brooding, herb-laced sour that smells like a rain-soaked garden at dusk.


Ingredients

  • 2 oz bourbon
  • 3/4 oz lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
  • 2 dashes angostura bitters

Method

  1. 11. Drop the basil leaves and simple syrup into the shaker and muddle firmly for 10 seconds until fragrant.
  2. 22. Add the bourbon, lemon juice, and angostura bitters.
  3. 33. Fill the shaker two-thirds with ice and shake hard for 15 seconds.
  4. 44. Double-strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe to catch all basil solids.
  5. 55. Add the two dashes of bitters over the surface in a slow arc before serving.

PRO TIP

Tear the basil leaves before muddling to release the aromatic oils from the torn edges, not just the surface.

Garnish — single fresh basil leaf floated on top
