Filled with fresh strawberries, sweet basil, crisp lemon-lime flavored soda and subtle vodka, this fruity cocktail is ideal for relaxing or entertaining!  Bonus, it can pull double duty and easily transform into a mocktail!

I’d like to savor every last drop of summer and bask in all of its warmth and glory! Plus, I’d like to enjoy a beach vacation, summer barbecues on repeat and ALL the fruity, fresh cocktails life has to offer! Because, you simply can’t do summer without a refreshing cocktail… or three!
