Method

Mojito Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Basil

    In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh basil leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the basil leaves to release their oils and fragrance. Be careful not to tear them too much.

  2. 2

    Add the Liquids

    Pour in the Grey Goose Vodka, watermelon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup into the shaker with the muddled basil. Fill the shaker with ice.

  3. 3

    Shake Well

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice. This will help to remove any basil bits.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Carefully pour the club soda over the top of the drink to add a fizzy finish.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Add Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a slice of watermelon on the rim and a sprig of fresh basil in the glass for added aroma and presentation.

  2. 7

    Serve and Enjoy

    Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Basil Mojito!
