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
- 11. Drop the basil leaves and simple syrup into the shaker and muddle firmly for 10 seconds until fragrant.
- 22. Add the bourbon, lemon juice, and angostura bitters.
- 33. Fill the shaker two-thirds with ice and shake hard for 15 seconds.
- 44. Double-strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe to catch all basil solids.
- 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.
