| Have you muddled lately? Do you own one of these nifty bar tools?Mine is used almost exclusively for making my favorite cocktail…Mojitos! Since my Myrtle Beach, SC trip, I’ve been dreaming about those Orange- Basil Mojitos that I sipped poolside. So I decided to re-create this drink in the comfort of my own home.If you’re already familiar with mojitos, you know that they usually incorporate mint and lime juice. For the Orange- Basil Mojitos, I simply subbed basil for mint and fresh orange juice for lime. It worked! The basil flavor worked well with the orange. I know what your thinking… sounds weird, right? It wasn’t weird at all. The basil worked well with the orange and it wasn’t overpowering at all.
Use that muddling tool to smush the heck out of the basil with the orange juice & sugar. Then you simply add a bit of rum and club soda to finish it off. Top with an orange slice and you’re ready for a toast! I loved it… it tasted just like the drink I was sipping on in Myrtle Beach, (just missing the pool!)
And just because I like all of you and you leave nice comments on my blog, I’ll share a Btipsy Muddler with one of you!! but you have to promise to try my orange basil Mojito…
