Method

Cocktail Preparation

Muddle the Thai Basil and Lime

In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the Thai basil leaves and the lime cut into wedges. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the leaves and lime to release their oils and juice. Muddle until the leaves are bruised, and the lime is juiced.

Add Sugar

Add the sugar to the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine the sugar with the lime juice and Thai basil, allowing the sugar to dissolve.

Add the Rum

Pour the white rum into the glass or shaker with the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

Add Ice and Club Soda

Fill the glass with ice cubes and then pour in the club soda. Stir gently to mix everything together without losing the carbonation.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish the cocktail with a sprig of Thai basil on top. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
