Getting ready for a warm picnic in a park? Don’t forget to bring this boozy basil and gin lemonade with you!

Let’s talk gin

In this particular recipe, I love using the Bombay Sapphire East Gin. For people who don’t know Bombay Sapphire East is a gin with an addition of Thai lemongrass and Vietnamese black peppercorns to the regular blend of traditional gin aromatics. This is adding just the perfect kick to this lemonade. Another thing I love to do is use Thai basil in the simple syrup recipe.
