Strawberry Basil Summer Smash Cocktail

This Strawberry Basil Summer Smash Cocktail is a very loose recipe. Don’t overthink it. Smash some berries in a glass with a little coconut sugar, or honey and top with basil vodka, club soda and a smidge of St Germain Elderflower.

For extra credit, simmer the berries and sweetener with a bit of water to build a better base.

 

QUICK AND EASY WAY:

handful of cleaned strawberries

1 tbls white coconut sugar, monfruit sugar or honey

1 shot basil vodka

1/4 shot of St Germain Elderflower Liqueur

~1/2 cup club soda

In one glass, smash the berries and sweeter using a muddler. Top off with remaining ingredients and stir.

 

EXTRA CREDIT:

1 pint sliced strawberries

1/4 cup white coconut sugar, monkfruit sugar or honey

Place the berries and sweetener over medium low heat in a small pan. Add water just to cover the berries and simmer for about 7 minutes or until the berries are softened and the sweetener is dissolved. Mash the berries and let cool.

Follow directions above, using 1/4 cup of simmered berries in place of the berries and sweetener.
