Here’s what you’ll need:
2 lime wedges
8-10 basil leaves
2 ounces white rum
1 ounce simple syrup*
Club soda
Basil leaf for garnish
In a tall glass, muddle the lime, basil and simple syrup. Fill the glass with ice and then add the rum. Top off the glass with soda water. Gently stir. Garnish with a basil leaf or sprig and an adorable straw.
*Simple Syrup – Combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Bring this to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved and a thicker syrup forms. Chill and store in the refrigerator until use.
