The fresh tastes of early summer are equally good in cocktails as they are in meals … here are some of my favorite beverages so far this summer.
Rhubarb Mojito
To make a pitcher, muddle 2 limes and a handful of fresh mint at the bottom. Add 2 c rhubarb syrup, 2 cups rum, ice and top off with seltzer. Garnish with a rhubarb stick, of course.
Strawberry Basil Mojito
Muddle two berries and a basil leaf at the bottom of your glass. Add 1 T basil syrup*, ice, 1.5 oz rum and top with seltzer or club soda.
*Basil Syrup
Bring 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar to a boil, add a cup of fresh basil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain, cool, and refrigerate.
