Instructions

  • Add the basil leaves and cucumber slices to a shaker. Add in your simple syrup and elderflower liqueur. Muddle until slightly mashed.

  • Garnish with a lime wheel and fresh basil leaves.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy The Green Thumb

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Use very fresh basil leaves for the best aroma.
  • Muddle gently so the herbs release flavor without becoming bitter.
  • Use English cucumber for a smoother flavor and fewer seeds.
