STRAWBERRY BASIL MOJITO
It's cocktail time and I've got a Strawberry Basil Mojito with your name on it! Fresh strawberries and a gentle basil flavor make this my favorite mojitos recipe. It's lightly sweetened and beautifully fragrant and perfect for a hot summer's day. It's also super easy to make a big batch for easy summer entertaining.

STRAWBERRY BASIL MOJITO
We're right in the middle of bountiful strawberry season. We eat strawberries on everything in the summer, don't you? Did you know that most strawberry farmers have to use organic growing conditions ANYWAY to get strawberries to grow, even if their farm is not certified organic? And that frozen, fresh, organic or not, just EAT THEM anyway you can get them in your body. The nutritional value is the same. I'm sharing one of my favorite items from a Strawberry Get-Together with you. Cuz it's awesome. And because a lot of people have been bugging me for this recipe.

Steps:
- For the strawberry-basil puree: To make the simple syrup, heat the sugar and 2 cups water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring as needed, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
- Add half of the strawberries, lime juice and basil to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until you reach a consistency that makes you happy. I do 10 to 15 pulses, which leaves a good bit of texture. Transfer to a pitcher or container. Repeat with the other half and add to the same container. Pour in the room temperature simple syrup, mix and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- For the strawberry-basil mojitos: Pour 1/2 cup of the strawberry basil puree into each glass. Top with 2 ounces of your favorite light rum, add ice and stir gently to combine. Top off each glass with a splash of soda. Garnish each drink with a stalk of basil and a lime wedge.
