Still a Gin Thang

For this recipe, I paired Indoggo Strawberry Gin with fresh strawberries, basil, fresh lemon juice, and a bit of balsamic to bridge the flavors. It’s bright and refreshing and you still get all the flavor from the gin.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Indoggo Gin

  • 2 fresh strawberries, sliced

  • 5 basil leaves

  • 1/2 oz simple syrup

  • 1/4 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar

  • 1/4 of a lemon, sliced into 2 wedges

  • Fresh basil for garnish

Directions:

1) Add ingredients to a cocktail shaker

2) Muddle to infuse flavors and oils from the fruit and basil

3) Fill shaker with ice and shake passionately for 15 seconds

4) Double strain into a rocks glass with ice

5) Garnish with a fresh basil leaves

Cheers and enjoy!
