Christopher’s in Covent Garden is 25 this year, and to celebrate we’ve refreshed our martini list. This is the most summery of the lot. Serves one.
4 basil leaves
30ml gin (we use Bombay Sapphire)
20ml Cointreau
20ml strawberry puree
15ml strawberry liqueur (try Fisselier; failing that, any berry liqueur or even 10ml limoncello will do)
10ml lemon juice
Clap three basil leaves between your palms, to release the oils, put in a shaker with everything else and shake hard over ice. Double strain into a chilled martini glass, float a basil leaf on top and serve.
