2.Seagram's for a G&T
3.Seagram's Gimlet

I'm addicted to Hendricks! Best gin out there, IMHO. Plymouth is really good, too ( and a bit less expensive ).
I'm a g & t man, although I drink a fair share of gimlets in the summer. I have not tried a Basil Gimlet, Jamie. Research is in order.
Might I draw your attention to my current Facebook profile picture, in which a gimlet is prominently displayed:

Cheers,
Sandford

Sandford,
To assist you in your research
Basil Gimlet
2 1/2 oz. gin (or vodka)
juice from 1 lime
1/2-1 oz simple syrup (to individual tastes)
5 large basil leaves
1 small basil leaf (for garnish)
Light crush basil leaves with a quick squeeze in the hand and put in a cocktail shaker.
Add ice, lime juice, simple syrup, and gin
Shake and let let stand 10 seconds
Pour into a cocktail glass and garnish with small basil leaf.
This is "house cocktail" for the summer months.
Cheers

Basil Gimlets are nice!!! Sara and I enjoyed them immensely.
We made a batch this afternoon, but this time I infused the simple syrup with a bunch of basil. I found the results to be a bit more...mellow.
Thanks Jamie for the tip!
Cheers,
Sandford
