Thai Basil Daiquiri
Extract from Liquid Intelligence • By Dave Arnold • Published by W. W. Norton & CompanyAbout
Liquid Intelligence
This is the drink I developed the foregoing techniques for. The TBD is a
typical daiquiri with the addition of Thai basil. Thai basil is not like Italian
globe basil in taste; it has a fantastic anise note that I love. Even people
who hate anise tend to like it. This drink is as green and fresh-tasting as I
can muster.
