Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Muddle the Basil
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh Thai basil leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the basil leaves to release their oils and flavors. Be careful not to shred them too much.
Add Simple Syrup
Pour in the simple syrup to sweeten the mixture. This will help balance the tartness of the lime juice.
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
Prepare the Glass
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, making sure to leave enough room for the club soda.
