What better way to greet the summer heat than a refreshingly sweet cocktail? This season, we’re in love with this sweet and summery Strawberry-Basil Moscow Mule. Just add strawberry and lime for sweetness, mix in ginger beer to keep it oh so fresh and vodka to keep the party going. Whip up one or two for you and a friend or a big batch for a picnic or pool party. Here’s how…
INGREDIENTS
4 c. ice
4 c. ginger beer
3 c. vodka
1 c. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 c. basil leaves
16 oz. strawberries
1-2 limes, sliced for garnish
STEPS
Add strawberries & basil into a large bowl
Muddle until strawberries are smooshed but not pulverized
Transfer muddled ingredients to a pitcher
Add freshly squeezed lime juice, vodka & your favorite ginger beer
Fill the rest of the pitcher up with ice
Ladle/pour into glasses or copper mugs and garnish with a sliced lime
Sip, sip…Enjoy!
