The Talented Mr. J

Mr. J might leave basil in your teeth.

You got too much basil on your hands? Try this unusual cocktail from La Distillerie!

First off, I’m so sorry about my lousy presentation, I was on a rush! This cocktail should be made in a Mason Jar, like most cocktails from La Distillerie, for a much better effect.

The Talented Mr. J

Ingredients

  • 4 pineapple cubes (crushed)
  • 1 1/2 oz Whiskey (Maker’s Mark)
  • 1/2 oz Chartreuse
  • 3/4 oz Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 Simple Syrup
  • 3-4 teared Basil Leaves
  • 7-Up

Preparation

Start by crushing the pineapple in the bottom of a tall glass, or if you’re doing it like la Distillerie, in a mason jar. Add all the ingredients except the 7-up (or it will go boom! (in a bad way!)) on ice. Shake energetically. Fill with 7-Up and decorate with a pineapple cube and one basil leaf.

Enjoy!
