SALINA, KS — June 2025
At Barolo Grille, where white linen meets wood-fired elegance, the drink of the month isn’t just crafted — it’s cultivated. This June, Lead Bartender Kara unveils the Basil Gimlet, a cocktail that pulls its flavor and character straight from the restaurant’s own backyard.
Built on a foundation of Hendrick’s gin, balanced with fresh-pressed lime juice, and tied together by Kara’s house-made basil simple syrup, this Gimlet isn’t a gimmick. It’s a genuine expression of season, setting, and skill. The basil? Grown mere steps away — in Barolo Grille’s own garden.
The result is a drink that’s bright, herbal, and clean. It’s subtle enough to pair with Barolo’s seafood options, yet bold enough to stand on its own as a pre-dinner statement. This isn’t your typical sugary summer sipper. The Basil Gimlet is sharp, intentional, and unmistakably local.
Available through June at Barolo Grille — or until the basil says otherwise.
