Ginsanity Chapter V??? I've lost count {Strawberry Basil Chill}

Don't worry, I'm not just baking muffins over here.... I'm very aware it's Saturday night.  In fact I'm stepping away and enjoying my new creation once I shoot this off.... This is an awesome drink, the basil gives it an earthy feel and it's crisp and really fresh.  LOVE IT.  I did plan ahead A BIT.... before I cooked dinner and made my muffins I muddled my basil, strawberries and simple syrup and let them "steep" for an hour or two... nice but not required.



HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED:

3 large strawberries
3 or four large basil leaves
1 ounce simple syrup
1-1/2 ounces gin
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
a couple lemon slices
club soda to top


HERE'S WHAT YOU DO:

• In a mixing glass, muddle the strawberries, basil, and simple syrup allow to "steep" for a bit if you have time.
• Transfer to a highball glass. 
• Add in the gin, fresh lemon juice, lemons and pack with ice; top with club soda and stir leisurely with your favorite swizzle stick to combine. 

This ginsanity is da bomb.
