A signature cocktail which has been with us from the start
During the three years which we have been open, many things have accompanied us on our journey such as our loyal staff, many of our clients, our fundamental philosophy of “sharing is better”, a high class national and internal cuisine and also one of our star cocktails: the Live Basil. This beverage is the star cocktail of our restaurant in Portopetro. The house’s signature. And as its name suggests, basil is the true protagonist and fundamental pillar of this cocktail.
Restaurant in Portopetro: The creation of Live Basil
The careful process of creating this cocktail is a complete ritual. To commence, the cocktail cannot just be made in any old glass. We use a Martini glass which is pre-frosted before being used. Ever since we opened our restaurant in Portopetro the Live Basil has had two staples during its existence: basil and gin. We pour out 4 centilitres of dry gin and 2 centilitres of basil syrup. To this we add 2 centilitres of lemon juice and one of Cointreau. This combination is finished off with a homemade sugar syrup and egg white, which are topped off with a fresh basil leaf on top. All these elements fuse in an ice-cold glass.

Its creation in an ice-cold glass and the fresh notes of the basil make it very refreshing and ideal for this time of year.

Would you like to try it?
