STRAWBERRY BASIL MOJITO RECIPES

A refreshing, seasonal fresh strawberries, tropical lychee nuts and basil mojito for your next Outdoor BBQ Party. This is a drink, your guest will be asking 'recipe' for, I'm telling yaa!

It is healthy and satisfying to use local ingredients and home grown herbs to mix up drinks for friends and family. Home grown or store bought, fruit based drinks are my favorite drinks to entertain for parties - one drink can be served to all age groups. Local and fresh ingredients really speak to you with their color, flavor and taste like these gorgeous strawberries and stunning purple basil flowers.

Of-course there can be beer or wine for adults, but no one misses opportunity to taste fruity cocktails.

So, I make drinks with and without alcohol for parties to give my guests option to go for alcohol-free version if they prefer. (Just keep the drink virgin and add alcohol per preference.)

This Mojito recipe is a slight shift from classic Mint Mojitos. My version of Mojito has some dazzling purple sweet basil flower from my herb garden (okay, herb pot to be precise, though calling it a garden has its own charm. smiles) I love, love purple basil for its color and aromatic flavor yet little less sharp taste.

Another favorite ingredient in this drink is Litchi Juice, sweet and mild in taste, it blends perfectly with any drink. I often use litchi juice instead of sugar syrups in drinks, it's refreshing sweet and floral aroma pairs perfectly with sharp citrus or tart berry drinks.

PS: This picture above is from Chef De Home old recipe files. When I made this Mojito again, recently, I clicked pictures again to add some 'life of New Colors' (courtesy my new DSLR Camera) to this refreshing drink!

Strawberry Basil Mojito is best prepared just before serving. However, for parties, you can slice strawberries, juice limes (or lemons) and keep glasses ready. Mix drink 30 minutes before guest start arriving and pour over ice filled glasses just before serving.
