Scale
- 4–5 strawberries (depending on their size)
- 2–3 basil leaves (also depending on their size)
- 3/4 ounce lemon juice
- 3/4 ounce simple syrup
- 4 ounces sparkling water
- Garnish: one basil leaf, lemon slice, *optional
Instructions
- Muddle the strawberries and basil. Add 2-3 basil leaves to your mason jar or cocktail shaker. Add 4-5 strawberries and begin to muddle the two together. Muddling helps the two flavors marry together. Remember mint can be used in place of basil!
- Add the rest of the ingredients. Add in your sparkling water, lemon juice, simple syrup (if using), and ice.
- Shake for 10-15 seconds, or until well chilled.
- Strain – use a strainer and pour into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish – add a basil leaf or lemon slice for garnish. Cheers!
