Juicy strawberry and fragrant, savory basil flavors fuse together to join with the traditional zesty and citrusy flavors of a Moscow Mule. Our recipe builds on the original by utilizing the sweetness of the strawberry and the complementary herbal essences of the basil and mint to add a new flavor to this classic cocktail. It’s a perfect addition to your summer cocktail rotation as well as an opportunity to take advantage of any fresh basil or mint you’re lucky enough to have on hand. To really punch this drink up, use additional strawberry or a bouquet of mint as a garnish to expand the experience to other senses.
