Pummel the basil leaves with a muddler to release the oils. Add the gin to the shaker along with ice. Put the top on the cocktail shaker and shake. Using a strainer, pour the mixture into a glass.
2. Place the remaining basil leaf in your hand and clap. Garnish the cocktail with the basil leaf and serve.
