Julian discovered this cocktail while living in Dublin, Ireland for 18 months between 2018 – 2019. The cocktail is made with fresh basil, elderflower liqueur, lime, a hint of agave nectar, and topped with a fresh basil leaf.
What you will find in this small batch craft gin are refreshing floral and citrus notes. You will find a nice herbaceous bouquet of basil on the nose with a uniquely fresh, fruity, and floral finish of elderflower on the pallet. This gin can be enjoyed over ice or mixed into your favorite gin cocktail.

Pour gin, lime juice and St. Germain into ice filled highball glass. Top with tonic water and stir gently. Squeeze lime wedge over the drink and drop it in.
*Elements of green and yellow equal Oakland A’s. My favorite player is Rickey Henderson. This concoction is so good, it’ll steal your heart in 2.8 sec which is the amount of time it took for #24 to steal 2nd base.
