Cocktail Time with Kevin Kos | Green VS Clear | Zero Waste Gin Basil Smash @KevinKos | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Do you like the green color of a beautiful Gin Basil Smash cocktail? What about a clarified version? Do you think it loses all the freshness and the look of this herbal drink? I made a zero waste Basil Smash with clarified basil-cucumber cordial (using agar agar for clarification) which can be used to make delicious, elegant and fast Basil Smashes! Perfect for summer gatherings with friends or for busy shifts in cocktail bars. But I try to keep Cocktail Time sustainable so I made a food pairing snack for this cocktail - Tzatziki with the cucumber used for a cordial, which would otherwise go to waste. Learn how to make this cordial and learn to waste nothing while enjoying this Clear & Zero Waste Basil Smash. Let’s call it the Elevated Basil Smash!
