It has been a crazy week of hopelessly looking at new flats and after searching from one side of the island to the other, I think it is safe to say that there is finally a glimmer of hope...and I can only imagine planting in front of the TV with a nice chilled drink and a refreshing salad.
Granted, its a Wednesday, but hey... I'm allowed to reward myself for climbing up and down endless stairs and all the hard work!

I ended up making a Vermicelli salad - Thai style with lots of chili, lime and sweet basil and the only drink I could think of having with is the Plantation which I read about in American drink's blog. But as usual added a little twist to it...
What You Will Need:

Muddle the basil and lime together with a muddler. Add the Gin, Cointreau, grapefruit juice and the ginger infused sugar syrup and shake with ice for 15-20 seconds. Strain into a chilled glass and if desired, top with some sparkling water. Garnish with sweet basil and a slice of grapefruit.
I was pleasantly surprised that this recipe wasn't another Rum concoction, given its name... if you are a Gin fan, this is a must try... and if you are not, after you try this, you will surely be converted!
