Before I moved, my next door neighbor would always give me
her Redbook Magazines when she was done with them. I loved finding that welcoming surprise on my
doorstep once a month. I got my most
recent drink idea from the last bunch of magazines she dropped off right before
we left *tear*.
Redbook featured three cocktails that are almost health
foods because of the ingredients that you add. There was a ginger based cocktail with vodka
and lemon, a green tea mixed with white wine, and finally, a very unique strawberry based
drink. I didn't have all the ingredients for the first two, but I
did for the strawberry drink.
Garden Party
Adapted from Redbook May 2013
Yield -1 cocktail
3 fresh hulled strawberries
2 basil leaves
½ tsp balsamic vinegar
2 oz silver rum
½ oz agave nectar
½ oz lime juice
club soda
Muddle the strawberries, basil, and balsamic together in the
bottom of a tin. After muddling, add ice,
rum, agave, and lime juice. Shake
vigorously and pour into a glass. Top
with some club soda and enjoy!
This drink was delicious with a little kick because of the
balsamic vinegar. The strawberries and
basil added a freshness to this adult beverage.
Perfect for sipping outside on a hot summer day.
