Death by Plants

Drinks with Death

May 31 2022 • 43 mins

You might think twice before you go foraging in the forest. This week we are talking about some of the deadliest plants and how they can kill you!

Want to drink with us? We LOVED the Basil-ica, courtesy of The Spruce Eats:

  • 5 large basil leaves, divided
  • 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup
  • 2 ounces Plymouth Gin
  • 1/2 ounce elderflower liqueur
  • 1 dash orange bitters
  • 1 dash Peychaud's Bitters
  • Long orange twist, for garnish
  1. Muddle 4 basil leaves, lemon juice, and simple syrup in the bottom of a mixing glass.
  2. Add the gin, elderflower liqueur, and bitters. Fill with ice.
  3. Shake for 10 to 12 seconds, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  4. To garnish, roll up the extra basil leaf, wrap the orange twist around it, and place it inside the glass. Serve and enjoy.
