Ingredients
10 large leaves Thai basil leaves
1½ ounces simple syrup
2 ounces fresh lime juice
4 ounces white rum
pinch sea salt
Directions
Place the Thai basil leaves in a cocktail shaker. Gently press and tear the leaves by hand to release their essential oils and fragrant compounds without pulverizing them.
Add the fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and a pinch of salt to the shaker with the basil.
Pour the white rum into the shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 10 to 15 seconds until well chilled and combined.
Strain the mixture into two chilled glasses filled with fresh ice, dividing evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy the aromatic, herb-forward cocktail.
