This cocktail is by Tobin Ellis and was featured on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. Ingredients:
1/2 lemon |
4 -6 large basil leaves, stems removed |
3 -4 teaspoons natural brown sugar, to taste |
ice cube |
1 1/2 ounces flavored rum (recommended ( bacardi coco rum) or 1 1/2 ounces flavored vodka (recommended, bacardi coco rum) |
3 ounces prepared sweet-and-sour mix (recommended ( finest call) |
1 sprig fresh basil, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Cut the lemon into small cubes. Put all but 1 lemon cube, the basil, and brown sugar together in a glass and muddle until the consistency of a paste or jam. Fill a glass with ice. Pour rum and sweet and sour mix into shaker without ice. Put cap on and shake; this blends the spirit with the mixer and creates a froth . Strain into glass and stir. Garnish with small spring of basil and cube of lemon and serve immediately.
