Saturday Sips! The GBC (Gin, Basil and Cucumber)

Saturday Sips! The GBC: A gin, basil, cucumber cocktail with personalized Rustic Retro tags and coasters from Evermine {www.evermine.com}
Basil and cucumber are in peak season right now, so we wanted to feature a recipe for this week’s Saturday Sips post that would utilize both ingredients to make an easy drink for those of you who are growing gardens this summer. Luckily, we didn’t have to look too far to find the perfect idea: The GBC (gin, basil and cucumber) from the BS’ in the Kitchen blog immediately caught our eye.

This beverage will appeal to the Gin and Tonic-lovers among you, but it’s even more refreshing because of the cooling properties in the cucumber combined with the crispness of the basil. It’s the perfect cold glass on a hot summer day

Josephine Guicciardi is the nom de plume of our creative Evermine blogger. With romantic connections to Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved” love letters, it is in keeping with the blog’s themes of love and joy. The great composer writes the famous words “ever thine, ever mine, ever ours” to a woman who remains a mystery to this day. Two of the most likely objects of his adoration are Josephine Brunsvik and Guilietta Guicciardi, and it’s from these two women that Josephine Guicciardi draws her persona.
