Yes please!

How delicious does this look?! The Farmer's Market is on Tuesday night and I'm def. stocking up to make a batch (or two) of these!

Drink It: Basil & Berries

Basil Berry Tonic (cocktail for 2)

4 ounces rum (we like the taste of dark rum but light rum also works and would make a drink of a lighter color)

1 ounce basil simple syrup (recipe above)

3 - 4 large strawberries, washed and hulled + 2 extra for garnish

Leaves of 2 or 3 sprigs of basil

Tonic water (if you can find Fever Tree, it’s the best we’ve found so far)

Gently muddle the strawberries and basil leaves in the bottom of a wide shaker. Remember you are pressing, not tearing.

Add rum and simple syrup.

Add plenty of ice to the shaker and shake.

Fill 2 glasses with cracked ice. Pour muddled mixture into glasses and top off with tonic. Stir and garnish with a strawberry.
