Yield 2 Drinks

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

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