Instructions
- Begin by making the strawberry syrup. Combine the water, sugar, and strawberries in a pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, mashing the strawberries with a spoon when they're soft.
- Remove the pot from the heat, let it cool slightly, then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve. See notes.
- Add the mint, basil, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker and muddle for about 30 seconds. Put a handful of ice into the shaker, add the rum and lemon juice, and stir until it's cold.
- Strain your strawberry mojito into a tall, ice-filled glass, top it with soda water, and garnish with strawberries, mint, and basil.
Notes
- This recipe makes enough simple syrup for 8 mojitos. Store any leftover syrup in your fridge for up to a month.
- Don't discard the strawberries after you make the syrup - they're delicious! Serve them over ice cream or on top of yogurt. Or simply eat them by the spoonful.
- To make a pitcher, use cups instead of ounces. Muddle 1 cup of strawberry simple syrup with a handful of basil and mint leaves. Strain it into a pitcher then stir in 1 cup of white rum, ½ cup of lemon juice, and 2 cups of soda water. You can double or triple the recipe as needed. Add a handful of basil leaves and some strawberries to the pitcher to make it look pretty!
