Gin Basil Smash

handful fresh basil
1 oz lemon juice
¾ oz simple syrup
2 oz london dry gin

Garnish: basil sprig
Method: muddle the basil leaves and gin in a shaker. Let sit for two minutes to absorb more color. Add the remaining ingredients with crushed ice, shake, and double strain. Serve up or over a big rock.

This is a go-to on a sunny day, and half the reason I keep two kinds of basil growing on the balcony 🪴 I wanted to use the last of my purple basil before the nights get too cold, and was really pleased with the turnout!

It really irritates me how half-assed the storytelling is in #Stargate: SG-1 so far. Everything about this "There But 4 the Grace of God" episode seems #muddled 😒
