Basher Cocktails – Bada Bing

The first in a new series of posts.

Not sure how i stumbled across this during a Bangladesh collapse but i discovered this cocktail recipe named for our new sponsor and Basher #2.

Bada Bing

• 2 basil leaves, chiffonaded
• 3 pitted Bing cherries
• 1 oz Plymouth gin
• ½ oz simple syrup
• ½ oz maraschino liqueur
• ½ lime juice
• 3-4 oz champagne

Shake basil, cherries, gin, simple syrup, maraschino and lime juice with crushed ice. Pour into a highball glass and add more crushed ice, if needed. Top with champagne and stir. Garnish with two skewered cherries, if desired.

Now i’m not sure if that sounds like our Tony at all and who knows what chiffonaded means. Maybe we can do better so the challenge is out there for the Bashers & Geishas to GOTPSM and come up with cocktails for other famous Bashers.

We’ll feature them here and perhaps the Geishas will organise an event later in the season where we can try them out.
