6 pieces Fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
2 ounces White rum
4 ounces Club soda

Hull and slice 3 fresh strawberries, then place them in a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker.

Add 6 fresh basil leaves, 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice to the glass.

Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the ingredients to release the juices and flavors. Avoid over-muddling as it can make the basil taste bitter.
