Basil Cucumber Mojito Mocktail
Intro & Description
We love mojitos, but sometimes you just don’t feel like the mint. Luckily, this is a great alternative that brings together the complex aromatic flavor of basil and the cool, refreshing splash of cucumber.
A refreshing and delicious take on the classic mojito with cucumber and basil.
Recipe
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
500ml BWG Cucumber Punch
⅓ Cup packed basil leaves
½ Cup lime juice
½ Cup water
½ Cup sugar
Club Soda, chilled
Cucumber and lime slices, if desired
Preparation:
Place Cucumber Punch, basil, lime juice, water and sugar in a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Strain and discard pulp.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
To serve, fill a glass with ice.
Fill half way with cucumber mixture and top with club soda, stir gently to blend.
Garnish with cucumber and lime slices.
Refrigerate leftovers.
Recipe Notes
You could omit the sugar and club soda and instead, use Sprite or something similar.
You can swap out the basil for mint, for the more classic mojito taste.
Fill those glasses up with ice too… the colder this drink is, the better.
