Gin Basil Smash
['1 cup Demerara sugar', '1 cup water', '2 ounces gin (such as Beefeater)', '1 ounce fresh lemon juice', '2/3 ounce simple syrup', 'Small bunch basil leaves (about 10)', 'Basil sprig', 'for garnish']
Heat the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not boil. Stir until sugar dissolves, about 3 to 5 minutes, then remove the pan from the stove. Cool. Transfer the syrup to a clean bottle or jar. Cover and refrigerate.
Muddle basil leaves with lemon juice and simple syrup. Add ice and gin and shake. Double-strain into a chilled cocktail glass with ice. Garnish with a basil sprig.
