Tequila and lime play nicely with summer strawberries in this refreshing long drink

Here’s a little something to put a fresh spring in your step as we head into summer proper.

2 strawberries, hulled8 basil leaves, plus 1 sprig extra to garnish50ml tequila– blanco or reposado, it’s up to you25ml freshly squeezed lime juice10ml agave nectarGinger ale, to top

Put the strawberries and basil leaves in a shaker and muddle (ie, bash) to bruise and release their flavours. Pour in the tequila, lime juice and agave nectar, then add a big handful of ice and shake very well. Double-strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice, top with ginger ale to add a refreshing fizz, garnish with the basil sprig and serve. (Alternatively, build the cocktail directly in the glass, by muddling the fruit and basil, adding the liquids and ice, stirring and topping with ginger ale.)
