The Cucumber Basil Aviation

Picked up these unique martini glasses today and thought I should do a couple experiments… you know, for science.



 

ingredients:

  • 2 oz | 60 ml Gin

  • ½ oz | 15 ml Maraschino Liqueur

  • ¼ oz | 7.5 ml Crème de Violette

  • ¾ oz | 22.5 ml Fresh Lime Juice

  • Basil Leaves

  • Cucumber wheels

instructions:

In a shaker, lightly muddle basil and cucumber with lime juice, mix the rest of the ingredients with ice and shake. In the base, lightly muddle more cucumber slices, basil leaves and a lime wheel then add water to dry ice so the aromas are expelled from the base. Serve up in a chilled martini glass to top of the base, garnish with a single @luxardousa cherry or in this case, a blackberry. Cheers!🍸oy!
