A new category of gin has spawned a new generation of gin cocktails. One of Charlotte's favorites, and surely a new classic cocktail, is the Gin Basil Smash created by Joerg Meyer in 2008 at Le Lion Bar in Hamburg, Germany. A true celebration of basil and the botanicals in gin, this cocktail is perfect for any time of year but best suited for a warm, sunny day.
