Strawberry Basil Mojito

With Labor Day weekend behind us, the end of summer is quickly approaching and there are only a few more hot and humid nights left before sweater and pumpkin spice season begins. This cocktail is my last ditch effort to enjoy the hot summer days before I wrap up in layers and hibernate until next summer. 

What You Will Need: 

- 2 oz white rum 

- 1/2 oz simple syrup

- Approximately 5 Mint Leaves 

- 1 Strawberry, sliced 

- soda water 

- 2-3 leaves of Basil 

- Ice 

What To Do: 

- Muddle the mint leaves, basil, strawberry, Simple Syrup and lime juice together. 

- Add ice and rum, shake and pour into serving glass. 

- Top with cold Soda Water and garnish with leftover mint.

- (Optional) strain after shaking to remove the muddled mint and basil leaves. 

- Serve immediately and enjoy!
