Strawberry Basil Fizz

• 6 oz. Crispin Original or Brut Cider
• 4 oz. Ginger Ale or Ginger Beer
• 2 oz. Light Rum
• 3 Large Strawberries, quartered
• lengthwise
• 4 Slices Lime
• 3 Large Basil Leaves, tore into large
• segments
• 1/2 tsp Sugar, plus more to rim glasses

1. 1) Pour out a bit of sugar onto a plate.
2. Slide a lime slice around the rim of the
3. glass and carefully roll the outer edge
4. of the glass in the sugar.
5. 2) In a large mixing glass, muddle the
6. strawberries, basil, lime and sugar.
7. You don't need to pulverize the
8. goods, just give them a good smash
9. so that you release all the juices.
10. If you don't have a muddler, get
11. crafty, just don't mix metal with glass!
12. 3) Add the rum, cider, and about 6-8 ice
13. cubes (depends on your trays). Give in
14. about two firm shakes with a shaker,
15. careful though, it's under pressure.
16. Don't have a shaker? Just pour back
17. and forth a few times from one glass
18. to the other.
19. 4) Pour the mix evenly between the two
20. glasses and top with the ginger
21. ale/beer. Garnish with a lime slice
22. wrapped around a small piece of basil
23. and strawberry slice.
