Low Carb Strawberry-Basil Lemon Drop

Okay y'all,

It's the weekend and I wanted a fruity cocktail to enjoy on this HOT summer day (Georgia-heat is something else!). Anyway, I found this recipe that I am about to try.

It's low carb & "sugar free"!

Let me know if you try it and how it turns out!

Ingredients

• 1 wedge of lemon

• 1 tsp low carb sweetener

• 2 fresh strawberries, sliced

• ½ lemon, sliced and quartered

• 4 fresh basil leaves

• 2 tbs lemon juice

• 2 tbs sugar free sweetening syrup

• 3 tbs vodka

• ice cubes

• extra strawberry, slice of lemon, thin strips of basil, for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepared the glass by running a wedge of lemon around the rim, then dipping it in low carb sweetener that has been placed on a small plate.

2. Make the base of the drink by adding the sliced strawberries, lemon slices, fresh basil leaves, lemon juice and sweetening syrup to a cocktail shaker, then using a muddler to crush everything down.

3. Add the vodka and some ice cubes, and give everything a good shake. Strain it into the glass, and garnish it before serving.
