I found this in our local newspaper. I have not tried it but it sounds good on a hot summer day. Ingredients:
3 -4 large fresh strawberries, thinly sliced, plus 1 whole berry for garnish |
1/4 cup powdered sugar |
1 -2 large basil sprig, plus extra for garnish |
ice |
1 1/2 ounces vodka |
1 ounce lemon juice |
3 -4 ounces chilled soda water |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the strawberries and sugar, toss well. Let sit for 15 minutes.
2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the basil and strawberries and any juice collected in the bowl. Gently crush using a muddler or wooden spoon.
3. Fill the shaker with ice, then add the vodka and lemon juice. Cap the shaker.
4. Shake vigorously. Pour into a large glass, then top with soda water. Stir.
5. Garnish with a strawberry and fresh basil.
