—
Chill your glass in the freezer.
Muddle the basil leaves in a cocktail shaker or use a wooden spoon or even a pestle and mortar. The more muddling the more verdant the drink will be. Add the jin, the lime and the ice and shake well. Taste and add the the agave, ½ tsp or more. Shake again. Add ice to the chilled glass. Fine strain the cocktail into the glass. Garnish with a baby basil leaf and a slice of lime.
