Ingredients
- 3 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 6 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 ounces White rum
- 4 ounces Club soda
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 piece Lime wedges

Instructions
Hull and slice 3 fresh strawberries, then place them in a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker.
Add 6 fresh basil leaves, 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice to the glass.
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the ingredients to release the juices and flavors. Avoid over-muddling as it can make the basil taste bitter.
Add 2 ounces of white rum to the mixture, then stir to combine.
Fill a serving glass with 1 cup of ice cubes. Pour the muddled mixture over the ice, straining out the solids if desired.
Top the drink with 4 ounces of club soda and give it a gentle stir.
Garnish with a lime wedge, 2 strawberry slices, and a sprig of basil for a vibrant presentation.
