CHATEAU CAMBON
From a forgotten vineyard caught between Morgon and Brouilly, originally planted a century ago, Chateau
Cambon is the creation of a cult-Beaujolais triad; the coming together of (the late) Marcel Lapierre, JeanClaude Chanudet (w/wife Genevieve) and Joseph Chamonard. Using natural yeasts, aging in 200 year-old
foudres and bottling with little or no SO2, Cambon is pure Gamay. 
Chill this little gem down, and feel the heat drift away!

Ingredients
1 cup ice plus more for serving 
1/2 cup lillet
1 ounce Greenhook Ginsmiths gin
2 tablespoons orange juice 
1/4 cup basil leaves, packed, plus more for garnish
splash of soda water
Cinnamon stick and or cucumber spear for garnish

 

Directions

 Combine everything but the soda water and garnishes in a cocktail shaker.  Press down the basil leaves with a spoon to release the flavor.  Shake vigorously and pour into a glass with a handful of ice.  Top off with the soda water and add garnishes  

 

 This recipe is from Martha Stewart and is an incredibly refreshing and light cocktail that is perfect for brunch. Lillet is a French aperitif wine that is a blend of french white wine and macerated citrus liqueurs (mostly from orange peels).  Sounds delish, right? It is.
