Basil-Strawberry Mojito

1. 1

   ~Muddle basil, strawberry, splash of lime juice, and simple syrup

2. 2

   ~Fill a tall glass with ice, pour in rum, pour in basil/strawberry mixture, then top with ginger ale.

3. 3

   (You won't need the whole can of ginger ale for 1 drink.)

4. 4

   ~Garnish with a lime wedge and a strawberry, if you want.

5. 5

   Note: To make simple syrup just mix 1 part sugar and 1 part water in a pan on the stove until the sugar is dissolved. The simple syrup is optional, but I like my mojitos sweeter, so I use it.

6. 6

   Also, you can make the muddled basil/strawberry mixture and freeze it in little containers if you need to make a bunch for a party or something!

7. 7

   Enjoy!
