Pineapple Basil Rum Fizz

Description

Pineapple Basil Rum Fizz works best when it is treated as more than a list of ingredients. White rum, pineapple juice, basil leaves and lime juice give it a flavour story that is easy to understand but not boring. The best version has a clear beginning, middle and finish: aroma first, then sweetness or fruit, then enough acidity or bitterness to clean up the sip.

That makes it useful for home mixing because it feels generous without needing complicated technique.

45 ml White rum
60 ml Pineapple juice
4 leaves Basil Leaves
20 ml lime juice
10 ml Simple Syrup
40 ml Soda Water
