Hide your bourbon, hide yo basil… because once you taste a
sip of this cocktail you won’t be able to stop.
I’ve been keeping this recipe from you for far too long. It’s
been my summer go-to and with the long weekend coming up, there’s no better way
to keep the summer vibes going than by sippin’ on this SMASH.
It’s super easy to make and you can do it two ways – one’s
lazier than the other and makes it a little more boozy/bourbony, the other is more of a fancy cocktail so it’s kind of like a
choose your own adventure cocktail. Plus, you only need 4 ingredients + ice.
Does ice count as an ingredient?! EASY PEASY!
This recipe is easily doubled, tripled, quadrupled (you get
where I’m going). I recommend throwing on this song and get to shakin’.
whiskey basil smash
yields 1 drink
quick and easy way
(more pronounced bourbon flavor)
2 oz bourbon
handful of fresh basil leaves (about 6 – 8 depending on how
big)
splash of pure maple syrup (about 1 tsp), to taste
1 TBSP fresh lemon juice
ice, both crushed and a large rock
1 gorgeous basil leaf for garnish
In a cocktail strainer (or mason jar) add basil, whiskey and
maple syrup and muddle for a good 30 seconds to bruise that basil and infuse as
much flavor as you possibly can. Fill the shaker up with crushed or cubed ice
and top with the lemon juice. Shake that sucker for a good minute. You want a
little bit of the ice to naturally dilute the drink which balances out the
cocktail.
Strain over 1 large ice cube or regular cubes, or "neat" if you don’t have
a big “rock”. Place the basil leaf in the palm of your hand and give it a good
smack. This releases more basil essence and it’s just fun. Place slapped basil on top, sip,
enjoy, repeat… ahhhh!
fancy way (more like
a true crafted cocktail and the bourbon is less pronounced)
2 oz bourbon
1 oz basil syrup
1 TBSP lemon juice
ice, both crushed and a large rock
1 gorgeous basil leaf for garnish
for the basil syrup:
1 c. filtered water
2 c. moderately packed basil leaves (thin stems are ok)
1/3 c. pure maple syrup
ice bath
To make the syrup:
Set up your ice bath. In a small sauce pan, blanch the basil
in 1 c. boiling water for 15 seconds. Remove basil with tongs and immediately
place in an ice bath. Turn the boiling water off. After 1 minute, transfer the
basil to a blender. Place your sauce pan in the ice water to cool it down for
about 5 minutes.
Once the basil infused water is cool to the touch, pour it in
the blender with the basil leaves, add the maple syrup and blend on high for 30 seconds. Strain with
a fine mesh sieve and pour into a jar and store in the refrigerator until ready
to use. It’s most vibrant green right away but can be made up to 2
days in advance.
When ready to make the cocktail, add the bourbon, basil syrup
and lemon juice in a shaker with ice. Give it a good shake for about a minute,
strain and serve over ice. Garnish with fresh basil.
The lemon juice will start to turn the drink from a vibrant
green to a slightly murkier green over time so don’t add the lemon until the
very end to keep it purdy. It will still taste good once the color starts to
change but who doesn’t love drinking a bright green cocktail?!
improv style:
This cocktail is dead simple to make and is easily
substituted. I like to use maple syrup to keep it refined sugar free but you
can easily use your favorite sweetener. Use regular sugar, honey, agave –
whatever you have on hand!
Speaking of sweetener, I’m not the biggest SWEET cocktail fan.
I like it balanced. If you’re more on the sweet side, add more. If you’re
anti-sweet, try it with less or without. I find just a touch really balances it
nicely though.
Not a fan of bourbon? I wasn’t either last summer. Something
changed and now I want ALL THE BOURBON. If you’re not a whiskey fan, this
cocktail is amazing with gin, vodka and even white tequila. Whatever you fancy,
shake it up!
Basil… delicious. But so are lots of herbs. You could try
this with your favorite like sage, rosemary or thyme.
How would you tweak the recipe to make it your own?!
I experimented with infusing bourbon with basil. It worked but didn't really add anything. Muddling is quicker and easier in my opinion.
