Strawberry Basil Gin Cocktail

• Strawberries
• Sugar
• Basil leaves
• .5oz simple syrup
• .5oz fresh lemon juice
• 2oz gin

In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, macerate a couple sliced strawberries with sugar for 5 minutes (this will help to release the strawberries juices). Add 2-3 basil leaves and muddle. Add .5oz simple syrup, .5oz fresh lemon juice and 2oz gin. Add ice and shake well. Strain into an ice filled tall glass and top with chilled club soda. Garnish with a fresh strawberry and a sprig of basil.
