  • 2 ounces Don Julio Silver Tequilla
  • 2 ounces Controy
  • 3 limes
  • Shake it up and pour over ice with or without salt

Purple Basil and the Tanah Gajah



When I stayed at the Chedi Club in Ubud, Bali, they served a cocktail called the Tanah Gajah.  It is the perfect summer cocktail with purple basil, which you can usually find this time of the year.  Here is my recreation.

  • 1 ounce lime juice
  • 1 ounce sugar syrup
  • 10 purple basil leaves, some mottled 
  • Shake
