Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup simple syrup (3/4 cup sugar + 3/4 cup water, heated to dissolve)
  • 1/2 cup torn basil leaves
  • 1 cup FRESH key lime juice (use regular limes for slightly less acidity)
  • 2 cups white rum
  • 1/4 cup Chambord (raspberry liquor)
  • 1 liter club soda
  • Ice
  • Fresh raspberries and lime slices (to garnish)

Instruction

  • Pour the cooled simple syrup in a large pitcher and add the torn basil leaves. Use a large spoon/ladle to muddle the basil leaves so they release their flavor—beat them up pretty well.
  • Add the lime juice, rum and Chambord. Stir. Add the club soda, stir, and top with ice if the pitcher allows.
  • To serve: Garnish each glass with fresh berries and lime slices. Serve over ice or chilled without ice.
