Method

1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle 4 fresh strawberries and 4 basil leaves together to release their juices and fragrant aromas.
2. Add 1 shot of vodka and 15mL of fresh lemon juice to the shaker.
3. Fill the shaker with ice to the top, seal it, and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to chill and blend the ingredients.
4. Strain the cocktail mixture and fill the remainder of the glass with sparkling water, giving it a gentle stir to combine the ingredients.
5. Garnish your Strawberry Basil Bliss cocktail with a couple of strawberry slices and a sprig of fresh basil.
