1 strawberry
2 fresh basil leaves
ice cubes
2 fl oz gin
1 fl oz fresh lemon juice
3 fl oz club soda, chilled
2–3 Richberry halves

How to Make It

Muddle
Mash the strawberry and basil leaves in a cocktail shaker with a muddler.
Shake
Add half the ice to the shaker and the rest to a tall glass. Pour the gin and lemon juice into the shaker and shake until the outside is frosty.
Strain and top
Strain over the ice in the glass, top with the club soda and stir.
Add the Richberry twist
Just before your first sip, chew 2–3 Richberry halves gently and let them linger for about 30 seconds. Discard any pit, then taste how the sour notes turn sweet.

Richberry changes the taste, not the drink: a cocktail may taste softer, but it is just as strong. Please enjoy it responsibly.
