Strawberry Basil Mojito

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lime cut into 4 wedges
• 5 fresh mint leaves
• 5 fresh basil leaves
• 3 large strawberries
• 1/2 ounce stevia simple syrup
• 1-ounce Rum ( Checkout vareties of Rum )
• Seltzer water to finish

Directions:

1. Place the mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a shaker or mason jar. Muddle the ingredients together with a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon.
2. Add 2 more lime wedges along with the basil, strawberries, and stevia simple syrup then muddle the ingredients again.
3. Add Rum and fill the shaker or mason jar with ice. Cap whichever tool you are using and shake to combine.
4. Pour the entire mixture into a glass and top with seltzer water to finish.
5. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge and serve.

Add basil to anything and I’m all for it! Basil is a powerful herb that can have anti-inflammatory benefits, antimicrobial properties and, you guessed it, plenty of antioxidants to go around. Strawberries and mint are great additions as well. Mint, in particular, is great for indigestion and calming an upset stomach.

I love that a traditional mojito doesn’t include any straining – the mint leaves and lime are both kept in the drink for an extra boost of nutrition. This cocktail or mocktail recipe is a little twist on the traditional mojito!
