Festa In Giardino (Garden Party) Cocktail
"In the garden or anywhere, this is a lovely cocktail. The basil is a little unusual but not overpowering. Use good gin, you don't have to get too fancy, but Tanqueray or Bombay will make a big difference over a bargain brand. To double strain, pour from your shaker through a finer mesh sieve, if you don't mind basil bits in your drink, skip this step."
