Preparation
Muddle the Basil
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh basil leaves and gently muddle them with the back of a muddler or a spoon to release their essential oils.
Add the Liquids
Pour in the gin, Italicus, mandarin orange juice, and simple syrup into the shaker with the muddled basil.
Shake with Ice
Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Strain the Cocktail
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass to remove the basil leaves and ice.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a slice of mandarin orange on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
