Cocktail to Make a Gin and Rosé Grape Fizz
With warmer weather on the way, it’s time to start getting creative with our cocktails. Thai basil syrup is the perfect addition to this drink that everyone will love. Prepare the syrup at least three hours before serving for the best flavour! The refreshing combination of rosé grape juice and gin is pretty close to our roots at Maison Mirabeau, and we hope you like it.
Gin Grape Fizz Cocktail
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Mirabeau Dry Rosé Gin 60ml
- 1.3 oz Mixed grape juice
- .67 oz Thai basil syrup
- .5 oz Lime juice
- top up with sparkling water
Instructions
- Shake the Mirabeau Dry Rosé Gin, grape juice, syrup and lime juice together. Double strain into a rocks glass and top with sparkling water. Add a wedge of lime for a garnish.
Recipe for Thai Basil Syrup:
- Dissolve a cup of white sugar in a cup of water. Bring the solution to a boiling point, add a good handful of Thai basil leaves and immediately remove it from the heat.
- Let the basil steep in the sugar solution for at least three hours – longer if you want a fuller flavour and short for a more subtle hint. Bottle and store in a fridge until you need it. The syrup will last roughly a week if you don’t drink it all beforehand!
