Garnish: Exactly one compact upright basil sprig bouquet

1. 01

   Pre-chill a clear heavy rocks glass, count twelve fresh basil leaves, and prepare exactly one compact basil sprig bouquet.

2. 02

   Place the twelve basil leaves in a shaker and muddle firmly enough to release their green aromatic oils without shredding them excessively.

3. 03

   Add the cachaça, freshly squeezed lemon juice, rich simple syrup, and solid cold ice to the shaker.

4. 04

   Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the herbal sour is thoroughly chilled and integrated.

5. 05

   Fine-strain into the chilled rocks glass over fresh crushed ice so no torn basil or ice fragments enter the drink.

6. 06

   Place the single compact basil bouquet upright at the rim and serve without citrus or another garnish.
