Distinctly herbal and minty, basil is not just a spice for cooking but can also be a surprisingly refreshing addition to a cocktail or a soda.
In fact, the bright green MONIN Basil syrup goes together perfectly with a Mojito.
Nose: Strong nose of muddled basil leaves
Attack: Herbal with hints of pepper
Length in Mouth: Refreshing herbal and basil leaves after taste
I really like adding MONIN Basil syrup to a mojito. The balance between the freshness of the mint, the spiciness of the basil and the acidity of the lime is a perfect match. If you want a little taste of Asia, you should associate MONIN Basil syrup, MONIN Lychee liqueur and a fruit juice of your choice. But my favourite use will definitely be in a Martini cocktail mix with lime juice, Le Fruit de MONIN Raspberry, gin shaken and topped with a flamed twist.
