The first time I made a Gin Basil Smash, I used "fresh" basil from the grocery store, and I thought it was a pretty good drink. Later, I was growing basil in a planter, and I used that. The difference was amazing. This may be the same type of wisdom as "water is wet," but the Gin Basil Smash is on a whole new level if you are able to set things up so that you can pick the basil leaves right before making the drink. Of course, this makes it a seasonal drink for the hottest part of the summer, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

@JoshRzepkaMusic Год назад
Nice! I've only used Basil in drinks by making Basilcello (like Limoncello - but with basil) and it's got a terrific and interesting flavor. I'd be interested to see how one of these would turn out by using liquid nitrogen to freeze the basil prior to muddling - I imagine it would be brighter basil flavor with less bitter components (similar to using liquid nitrogen for a mojito - shatters the leaf vs. smashing the cell walls which can release bitter components). We typically grow 4-5 different types of basil in our garden .. this will be interesting to experiment with this summer.

First things first: Love the Video ☺️ Great content as usual! Please keep it up! Two things: (1) Could you incorporate the amount of liquids that you use in the cocktails on the side of the videos? I feel like it's a nice visual addition especially when it comes to syrups. I know that you say it but I think it's just fits well to add it on the screen :) (2) Is the Italicus Bergamot liqueur the same liqueur that you also used in the Empress Lavender Honey Lemonade? I really want to replicate this drink but want to use the exact same ingredients! Greetings from the Netherlands and thanks 🍸

I had never heard of Rosolio or Bergamot liqueur. I've been looking on-line to see if it is sold anywhere here in Quebec. No luck :( I love bergamote and would love to try it. In the mean-time, is there anything that would come anywhere close as a substitute?
@TrufflesOnTheRocks
@TrufflesOnTheRocks Год назад
YEah well that's true, Italicus is not distributed yet in Quebec. I heard it was coming though so keep the faith LOL In the meantime, you might be lucky with the company called "Bella Vita Grand Cru" which I believe import a bergamot liquor in private importation.

Hey Nancy, I just had a look and I was wrong. It's "G à la Deux" who imports liquor company with a bergamote liqueur in their line up. I'm not sure if they import that specific one but you could give it a shot. Here's their insta instagram.com/galadeux_/

@TrufflesOnTheRocks
@TrufflesOnTheRocks Год назад
Well I guess there’s different school of thoughts for this. Where I’m from, simple syrup is the definition of a syrup made of sugar and water but it doesn’t imply the ratio. Like I said it many times on the channel, when I don’t mention anything specific, that means I’m using my 1:1 simple and when I use a syrup with a different ratio, that’s when I specify. Hope this helps. CHEERS

@Jugtones Год назад
"Too little could ruin the cocktail." So much nonsense. This is just a gimlet / gin sour with the addition of basil. Too little basil is just a delicious gimlet. In fact, i would argue that i could garnish a gimlet with a sprig of basil and get the same cocktail minus the color. The basil flavor mostly comes from the olfactory sense.
