This drink has all the summertime vibes. The smokiness of the mezcal highlights the sweet notes of the fruit, and the basil is a great bridge between the two.

Ingredients

4 strawberries, hulled and quartered

2 fresh basil leaves

Kosher salt

3 ounces mezcal

1 teaspoon agave

Directions

  1. Divide the strawberries and basil between 2 large rocks glasses. Season with a pinch of salt. Using a cocktail muddler, muddle the strawberries and basil together until the strawberries are smashed and the basil has broken up.
  2. Add 1 1/2 ounces mezcal and 1/2 teaspoon agave to each glass. Fill each glass with ice, then top with club soda. Use a cocktail stirrer to mix.
