Basil-Mint Mojito
1 shot Basil-Mint Simple Syrup (see below)
1 shot White Rum
1 Lime (juiced)
Fizzy water
1 sprig Mint
1 lime slice
Basil-Mint Simple Syrup
2 cups Water
1 cup Sugar
3/4 cup Fresh mint (packed)
3/4 cup Fresh sweet basil (packed)

Directions

1

Fill a tall glass with cracked ice.
2

Add the basil-mint simple syrup, white rum, and lime juice.
3

Fill the glass with fizzy water and garnish with mint sprig and lime slice.
4

If you like it even more basil-minty you could add a few basil and mint leaves at the very beginning and muddle them, so you have a dirty basil-mint mojito.
5

Roughly chop the basil and mint.
6

Combine all the ingredients in a small sauce pan and simmer over low heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves.
7

Strain and discard the solids. (Actually, before doing so, taste the basil and mint. Delicious.)
