½ cup cachaca or good quality rum (for a non-alcoholic version substitute 2/3 cup club soda)
1 teaspoons aged balsamic vinegar
6 medium sized strawberries, rinsed and quartered
10 medium sized basil leaves, roughly chopped
2/3 cup pineapple juice, with no added sugar
2 Tablespoons lime juice, approximately 2 limes
1 3/4 tsp Truvia™ natural sweetener spoonable*
½ cup crushed ice
* or 2 packets Truvia™ natural sweetener
In a tumbler, combine the basil, strawberries and lime juice. Muddle the mixture by pounding to break up the berries and release the basil flavor.
Add the cachaca or rum, balsamic vinegar, pineapple juice, Truvia™ natural sweetener, and ice into the tumbler. Shake for several minutes, until the drink is chilled and well blended.
Strain only half of the mixture, so that you still get a few pieces of basil and strawberry in each glass. Serve the drink in a well chilled martini glass.
