Thriller in Perilla50ml BLOOM Gin
15ml Creme de Violette
20ml Lemon Juice
2 Dashes Grapefruit Bitters
3 Bar Spoons Sugar
3 Perilla/Shiso Leaves
Whisk with crushed ice in a Julep Cup
Garnish with a straw and Perilla/Shiso leaf
Shiso is Japanese for Perilla and the herb is often known as Japanese Basil or 'The Beefsteak Plant'. The flavour is quite distinct - it's a bit like a cross between mint and fennel. You can see on the bar a Perilla leaf which Oskar was showing me.....
Innovation truly at it's best!
