Our Friday Cocktail: The Sweet and Simple

                        

Every Friday afternoon during our weekly team meeting at SideTour, we select one cocktail to enjoy as a group. Last week, Jo developed this light and refreshing summer drink. It was perfectly balanced, a great combination of tart and sweet, and a great reminder that summer’s not quite over just yet! 

The Sweet and Simple

2 oz dry gin
1 oz honey simple syrup
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1 tsp whole peppercorns
5 basil leaves
1/2 tsp honey

Muddle honey, peppercorns and basil. Add gin, simple syrup and lemon juice. Shake with ice and strain. Serve over ice.
