The Serengeti

• 1/2 lemon
• 4 to 6 large basil leaves, stems removed
• 3 to 4 teaspoons natural brown sugar, to taste
• Ice cubes
• 1 1/2 ounces flavored rum or flavored vodka (recommended: Bacardi Coco Rum or Skyy Vanilla Vodka)
• 3 ounces sweet and sour mix (recommended: Finest Call)
• Small sprig of basil, for garnish

1. Cut the lemon into small cubes.
2. Put all but 1 lemon cube, the basil, and brown sugar together in a glass and muddle until the consistency of a paste or jam.
3. Fill a glass with ice.
4. Pour rum and sweet and sour mix into shaker without ice.
5. Put cap on and shake; this blends the spirit with the mixer and creates a "froth".
6. Strain into glass and stir.
7. Garnish with small spring of basil and cube of lemon and serve immediately.
