Basil Mojito

I love mojitos. Recently Craig saw a recipe for a Basil Mojito, it is virtually the same thing as a regular mojito but replace mint with basil and rum with vodka.


you will need:
a handful of basil leaves
vodka
soda water
limes
sugar water (make your own by mixing water and sugar (1 part water to 2 parts sugar) on the stove in a small pot, once it cools you can place it in a jug and it will keep in your fridge if you don't use it all that night)



Place basil leaves and the juice from half a squeezed lime in a tumbler. Lightly muddle until the basil smell becomes more intense. Add in a shot of vodka, ice and stir. Top with soda water and enjoy.
