This is fantastic, Charlotte!
Gin and basil is something I’ve really enjoyed lately, especially with Chartreuse like in Le Monstre Vert on Jamie’s show. Love the cocktails you’ve been doing here!
Brilliant! Have really been enjoying your vidoes of late Charlotte. Love the way you describe the ingredients that you use, with a touch of history, its flavour profile and how it compliments the drink. Look forward to more videos. Thanks. Ian
This IS a good cocktail and I will do this again for sure. I bought a plant of fresh, sweet Basil ,planted it in a planter along with the Mint. Nothing like fresh ingredients !
