- 3 ripe medium strawberries, plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 6 basil leaves, plus additional for garnish
- 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) gin

Instructions
- Add lots of ice to a large cocktail or wine glass and stir to chill the glass. Drain any melted water.
- Quarter the strawberries. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the basil leaves. Add the strawberries and sugar and muddle again. Add the gin and a handful of ice. Shake until cold, and then strain into cocktail glass.
