Gin and Tonic with Australian Finger Lime and Basil

Gin and Tonic, the classic British drink, with the addition of the sour and slightly bitter Australian Finger Lime and aniseed-y basil.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Divide the basil leaves into 2 and place them in your chosen glasses.

Step 2

Using a cocktail muddler or the back of a teaspoon, crush the basil leaves to release their essential oils and aroma.

Step 3

Add the ice cubes to the glass (2 each).

Step 4

Squeeze the Australian finger limes into the glass (half a lime each).

Step 5

Pour in 50ml (2 fl oz) of gin into each glass.

Step 6

Top with as much or as little tonic water as you like. I only use about the same amount as the gin, but it's a matter of taste.

Step 7

Give it a stir, and garnish with the lime slices and basil sprigs.
