Thai basil and citrus cocktail

By Nancy Anne Harbord

Lemon, Thai basil and gin cocktail recipe

A fresh, zingy cocktail packed with fresh citrus juices and fragrant Thai basil, with a touch of raw honey and delicious gin.

This is what I would classify as a healthy cocktail – very low sugar (optional raw honey) and packed with fresh, nutritious citrus and natural flavour. There’s just the small matter of the booze.

A great match for this spicy Thai green curry.

Edible gold not optional.
