Make a refreshing springtime cocktail or mocktail. It's one of my faves.

How about a Basil Berry Mojito? This spring you can enjoy a cool and fresh cocktail or mocktail made right at home. It's easy and tastes so good. From my home to yours.

1 oz fresh lime juice

1 oz simple syrup 

6-8 fresh strawberries, hulled 

8-10 fresh basil leaves 

Soda water 

Ice

Feel free to adjust the sweetness, add more herbs to suit your taste or leave out the rum altogether for a cool fresh mocktail. Cheers!
