A few of our favorite cocktail and mocktail recipes to make with our Strawberry Basil simple syrup!

Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Martini

2 oz vodka

.5 oz Godiva chocolate liqueur

.5 oz Creme de Cacao

.5 oz Strawberry Basil Simple Syrup

If you need it quickly, just shake all the ingredients up in a shaker with ice and strain into a martini glass or coupe. If you have time, garnish this drink to high heaven! Add chocolate syrup to the glass, garnish it with chocolate curls, and plop a chocolate-covered strawberry on the rim!

Frosé

4 oz Rosé

1 oz vodka

.5 oz Strawberry Basil Crescent Simples

1-2 handfuls ice cubes

Make it Zero Proof: Skip the vodka and use dealcoholized rosé

We love our Strawberry Basil in froze because it really highlights the strawberry notes that can already be found in a lot of rosés. We've stiffened this one up a little bit with an ounce of vodka, but feel free to leave that out if you want to keep it light. To make it, just add all the ingredients to a blender! This recipe is great for sizing up -- just multiply it by however many servings you'd like to get.

Gimlet

2 oz gin

.75 oz lime juice

.75 oz Strawberry Basil Crescent Simples

Shake all your ingredients with ice and strain into a coupe. Garnish by floating a slice of a fresh strawberry, a basil leaf, or a lime wheel on top.

Hemingway Daiquiri

2 oz rum

.75 oz lime juice

.5 oz grapefruit juice

.5 oz Strawberry Basil Crescent Simples

.25 oz Luxardo Maraschino liqueur

The Hemingway Daiquiri originated at El Floridita in Cuba, where Ernest Hemingway (its namesake) used to order it on repeat. He got it without simple syrup, but we like to balance out the tartness by adding a half ounce. While the classic recipe calls for Luxardo Maraschino liqueur (and this is always a fun addition to your home bar), if you don't have it, the cocktail is still delicious without it. Again, all you have to do to make it is add all ingredients to a shaker with ice, shake until cold, and strain into a coupe.

Hurricane

1 oz light rum

1 oz dark rum

.5 oz lime juice

.5 oz orange juice

.5 oz Strawberry Basil Crescent Simples

.25 oz passionfruit puree or juice

Make it Zero Proof: Skip the liquor and add extra fruit juice, like pineapple, or coconut water

I can't tell you how many absolutely disgusting versions of this drink I've had, but we took it back to the Hurricane's roots for a good quality, won't make you black out, won't make you barf, version of this New Orleans classic. The only tough-to-find ingredient in this drink is the passionfruit puree, but you should be able to at least find passionfruit juice at most Whole Foods. To mix it up, add all the ingredients to a shaker with ice, shake until cold, and strain into a Hurricane glass.

Pimms Cup

1 oz Pimms Liqueur

1 oz gin

1 oz lemon juice

.5 oz Strawberry Basil Crescent Simples

5-6 cucumber slices

Top with soda water

Make it Zero Proof: Skip the Pimms and gin and add 2 oz iced black tea

This cocktail looks really beautiful if you throw some fresh strawberries and basil in with your cucumber, but if you're just looking for the flavor our syrup will do the trick. Place your cucumber slices in a Collins glass, add your lemon juice and simple syrup, and muddle to your liking. Add the gin, Pimms, and ice, then top with soda water. Use the bottom of a shaker to toss the cocktail back and forth a few times to mix. Garnish with a cucumber slice.

Strawberry Basil Lemon-Limeade (Zero Proof)

1 oz Strawberry Basil Crescent Simples

.75 oz lemon juice

.75 oz lime juice

Top with soda water

Feel free to get creative with this recipe -- use whatever citrus or syrup you have on hand. We personally really love our Strawberry Basil in lemonades and limeades, so we decided to use the syrup to create a mixture of both. You can build this one right in the glass -- just add your ingredients to a glass with ice and give it a stir with a barspoon or butter knife to combine.
