Basilico Smash
July 10th means one thing: Basilico Smash Day. Originally the "Gin Basil Smash," also known as the "Gin Pesto" — but don't jump to conclusions. A smash doesn't mean muddled (that's for real pesto, or Paolo gets angry). A good shake is all it takes for a cleaner, more floral drink.

In Liguria, basil is more than an ingredient — it's part of the landscape, woven into the region's connection to its own land. It's everywhere, in everything. Now it's in your glass too.
