Sutler’s Basil Lemonade

By: The Local Palate
Basil lemonade recipe from Winston-Salem Distiller with Sutler's Gin

Sutler’s Gin, distilled in small batches in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, balances that familiar juniper taste but holds a secret: It pairs best with lemon rather than lime. Noting this, distiller Scot Sanborn recommends this refreshing basil lemonade for your summer gin libations. Simple, refreshing, and an easy cocktail to batch, this beverage will pair well with any upcoming spring or summertime activities.
