STRAWBERRY MOJITO

Steps:

• Muddle the strawberries: Place the strawberries, mint, and simple syrup in the bottom of a glass, and muddle until the strawberries are smushed and juicy. If you don't have a muddler, crumple the mint with your hands just a bit before dropping it into the glass, then smush with the back of a spoon to release the flavor.
• Add the remaining ingredients: Add crushed ice on top of the strawberries and mint, then pour in the lime juice and rum.
• Stir: Use a bar spoon or teaspoon to stir the drink. Don't stir too vigorously, otherwise you'll bring the mint to the surface!
• Top with sparkling water: Fill the remainder of the glass with more crushed ice, then top with sparkling water.

STRAWBERRY-BASIL MOJITOS

Steps:

• For the strawberry-basil puree: To make the simple syrup, heat the sugar and 2 cups water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring as needed, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
• Add half of the strawberries, lime juice and basil to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until you reach a consistency that makes you happy. I do 10 to 15 pulses, which leaves a good bit of texture. Transfer to a pitcher or container. Repeat with the other half and add to the same container. Pour in the room temperature simple syrup, mix and chill for at least 30 minutes.
• For the strawberry-basil mojitos: Pour 1/2 cup of the strawberry basil puree into each glass. Top with 2 ounces of your favorite light rum, add ice and stir gently to combine. Top off each glass with a splash of soda. Garnish each drink with a stalk of basil and a lime wedge.
