Strawberry Shag

Now that is Summer time & we have fresh strawberry everywhere!




Fresh basil lends a fun flavor note to the classic combination of strawberries and lemonade. Soda water introduces a lively sparkle.

Makes 1 drink

• 1 to 2 large sprigs fresh basil
• 1/4 cup Sugared Strawberries, with juice (recipe follows)
• 1 1/2 ounces vodka
• 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
• 3 to 4 ounces chilled soda water

For garnishing

• Fresh strawberry
• Small basil leaf

In a cocktail shaker, press the basil and strawberries together with a muddler to release the basil’s flavor. Fill the shaker with ice. Measure in the vodka and lemon juice. Cap and shake vigorously. Pour into a large glass, top with soda water, and stir. Garnish with a strawberry and basil leaf.
