According to PR Newswire, Square One Organic Spirits has launched its fourth organic spirit, Square One Basil. Inspired by the taste complexity of herbs rather than sweet profiles like most flavored vodkas, Square One once again demonstrates its pioneering spirit and commitment to high quality spirits that heighten cocktail creativity and distinction.
Square One Basil is infused with the essence of four basil varieties-Genovese, Thai, Lemon, and Sweet. A touch of organic coriander honeysuckle, and lemongrass are added to balance the robust herbal nature with their signature soft finish.
“When creating a new spirit, we think about the taste complexities that the spirit can bring to the cocktail. We want it to enhance and elevate the cocktail experience,” said Allison Evanow, Square One Organic Spirits Founder and CEO. “The sweet and savory magic that fresh basil brings to cuisine applies equally as well to cocktails. Our master distiller and I found that by layering select basil varieties we got the best expression of basil.”
Square One Basil is poured either as the base spirit with other fresh ingredients in the cocktail or as a complementing spirit with other spirits. “Just as a master chef layers flavaors with food, Mixologists today are building layers of flavor in cocktails,” said H. Joseph Ehrmann, Square One Mixologist/Brand Ambassador. “Tap into Square One Basil’s Genoese and Sweet basil varieties for cocktails with a Mediterranean flair, like a Caprese Martini. For Asian cuisine-style cocktails, showcase its Thai basil with lemongrass syrup, ginger liqueur or fresh Yuzu. Or find savory balance in summer cocktails that feature sweet ripe pineapple, strawberry or melon. In the classic Bloody Mary, replace vodka with Square One Basil and never look back.”
Square One Basil is available across the U.S. and is launching in Europe with Australia, New Zealand and Canada soon to follow. Square One Basil is available in standard 750 mL size bottles for $35 and 50 mL-mini sized bottles for $4.99.
