Basil Mojito
Bright, herbal, and wildly refreshing—this twist on a classic mojito swaps mint for fragrant basil, adding a savory edge that plays perfectly with fresh lime and a splash of soda. It’s citrusy, crisp, and garden-fresh, with just enough sweetness to keep it perfectly balanced. Think summer in a glass.
INGREDIENTS:
Handful of basil, plus an additional sprig for garnish
1/2 Oz 1-1 simple syrup
1/2 Lime cut into pieces
2 Oz Planteray 3 Star Rum
Soda Water
Saline Solution
COCKTAIL TYPE: Built-in-the-glass cocktail, Collins Formula cocktail with a mojito build!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Add lime pieces to the glass and muddle thoroughly.
Next add the basil and muddle a second time, gently so that the basil isn’t torn.
Then combine the syrup, rum, saline, and add ice to the top.
Stir to combine and chill.
Top with soda water, and stir a final time to combine.
Garnish with basil leaves, add a straw and enjoy!
