Combine everything except the basil and xanthan gum in a blender. Blend on high. Add the xanthan gum, and blend again. Now add the Thai Basil and 12oz of pebble ice. Blend until smooth. Pour into a chilled goblet. Garnish with a Thai Basil sprig.

Editor's Note

A frozen, Tiki-style drink where savory meets sweet. Pineapple and coconut provide the tropical base, while Thai basil and a hint of rosemary add a complex, herbal finish.
