Cocktail: Mint Basil Limeade

Our newest intern, Casey Kruger, will be our featured guest on this week's episode. We are excited to dive into his background and gain insight into his unique perspective as he navigates the challenges and experiences of his internship.

Recipe:

Mocktails, non-alcoholic cocktails, are becoming increasingly popular. They offer a delicious and interesting alternative to sugary drinks or water for those who don't want alcohol. Bars and restaurants are taking mocktails seriously, crafting them with the same care as cocktails. The Mint-Basil Limeade is a refreshing example, mimicking a mojito but without the rum. This drink can be enjoyed as is, or easily converted into a cocktail with a shot of rum, vodka or gin.

Ingredients:

• 4 large basil leaves
• 4 mint leaves
• 1 oz simple syrup
• 1 oz lime juice, freshly squeezed
• Club soda, chilled, to top
• Garnish: lime wheel

Directions:

1. Gently muddle the basil, mint and simple syrup in a shaker tin.
2. Add the lime juice and ice, and shake until well chilled.
3. Double strain into a Collins glass over fresh ice.
4. Top with the club soda.
5. Garnish with a lime wheel.
