This recipe was inspired my friend Kelly. She loves basil!! during the summer, she used to have the basil mojito instead of the regular one. To be frank, I am trying it now for the first time [haha] and I love it!

Ingredients

  •  ¾ ounce simple syrup
  •  2 sprigs basil , plus more for serving
  •  2 ounces white rum
  •  ¾ ounce fresh lime juice
  •  Club soda for serving (quantity as desired)

Instructions

  • Add simple syrup and 2 basil sprigs, rum and lime juice in a single serving mixer.
  • Fill with ice and mix.
  • Strain cocktail through a small strainer in a glass filled with ice. Top off with club soda; garnish with more basil.

Kids can enjoy it too

I adapted the cocktail for my kids during summer time. Just omit the rum. They find it really good and we all relax outside with our cocktails.

Enjoy ( À la vôtre!)
