- 60 ml (alcohol-free) gin
- 30 ml lime
- 20 ml cane sugar Sirup
- A hand full of basil
Shake with ice to crush the basil
I just love this drink in the summer. Amazingly refreshing.
When using alcohol-free gin, I like to cut back on the sugar a bit.

Looks great, basil smash is the best! How is the alcohol free gin? Any recommended brands?

I like to use the alcohol-free "Knut Hansen", unfortunately a regional german brand. It is a little bit on the softer side, but perfect for gimlet or Basil smash.

Nice, thank you! I'll have to try to find a good one here then :)

The one from Tanqueray tastes a bit more like actual gin. Maybe that's a good starting point if you're into Tanqueray.
I have to say. I prefer the softer taste of Knut Hansen though.
