About

The Strawberry Basil Smash is a bright and aromatic cocktail that perfectly captures the taste of summer in every sip. Juicy muddled strawberries and fresh basil leaves come together for a refreshing blend of sweetness and herbal depth, balanced beautifully by a splash of lemon juice and simple syrup. Crisp gin adds a botanical backbone, while bubbly club soda lightens things up for an effervescent finish. It’s a vibrant, garden-fresh drink that’s as easy to enjoy on a sunny afternoon as it is to serve at your next brunch or backyard gathering.
