The South Smash takes the concept of the Gin Basil Smash a step further—fresher, more aromatic, and sunnier. Gin, lemon, basil syrup, and Hysope Mediterranean Tonic Water: four ingredients that speak the same language and complement each other perfectly in the glass.
4 cl of Bombay Sapphire Gin
2 cl of lemon juice
2 cl of basil syrup
9 cl of Hysope Mediterranean Tonic Water
Basil leaves
The South Smash is built on complete aromatic harmony. Basil syrup and Hysope Mediterranean Tonic Water share the same herbal profile—one concentrated and sweet, the other fresh and sparkling. The Gin provides structure, while the lemon adds balance. A cocktail with a distinct identity and lasting character.
Want to take it a step further? Hysope Mediterranean Tonic Water also works beautifully in an Hugo Spritz for an extra layer of character, or in a Gin & Tonic for an instant Provençal signature. Classic cocktails, reinvented — one sunny identity.
