Basil-Strawberry Mojito

• 1 whole Strawberry
• 2 whole Basil Leaves
• 2 ounces, fluid Rum
• 1 dash Lime Juice (fresh Or Bottled)
• 1 teaspoon Simple Syrup
• 1 can Ginger Ale

1. ~Muddle basil, strawberry, splash of lime juice, and simple syrup
2. ~Fill a tall glass with ice, pour in rum, pour in basil/strawberry mixture, then top with ginger ale.
3. (You won't need the whole can of ginger ale for 1 drink.)
4. ~Garnish with a lime wedge and a strawberry, if you want.
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. 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. Enjoy!
