When Girl Meets 30

Skinny Strawberry Basil Smash Cocktail

July 1, 2011 By Erin Kennedy 1 Comment

The 4th of July weekend is here! And even better, it is a three day weekend because the 4th is on Monday! So exciting. So to help celebrate, and to get this Friday started, we have a cocktail you will have to try. But, some of us might be at the pool this weekend, and so we don’t want to pack on the calories, but need a refreshing drink to keep us cool. Nothing like strawberries that are at peak season and some delish tart lemons.
  • 2-3 leaves of basil
  • 2-3 ripe strawberries
  • 2 Tbs fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 oz. Skyy Blood Orange Vodka (or any vodka of your choice)
  • 2-3 packets of Splenda or Truvia sweetener
  • 3 oz. club soda
Muddle the strawberries and basil in a glass until smashed. Add lemon juice, vodka and sweetener, soda. Pour into a shaker and shake until cold. Pour into a glass.  Garnish with basil leaf and strawberry.
