Gin Rickey (Is It A Sin To Drink Gin Sooner than Midday?)

Creator Notes

I detest tonic so I drink my gin with lime juice. I mediate that agave nectar is a godsend to cocktail-making attributable to it be much less bother than straightforward syrup and it offers you the sense that it’s doubtless you’ll also very smartly be doing one thing healthy; what with its low glycemic index. This day I garnished my drink with basil in field of mint attributable to it be the final day of my household’s summer season condo and we’re sharp down the fridge. Being Italian cooks we continually enjoy basil, we rarely ever exhaust mint. The 2 are, no doubt, moderately identical. —Giulia Melucci
