Raspberry Basil Smash (Cocktail or Mocktail!)

Hi Reader!

You know that feeling when you order a "fresh raspberry" cocktail at a restaurant and it tastes like Kool-Aid? 🤢 Yeah. That's not what this is.

This raspberry basil smash uses real raspberries — muddled right in the glass — so the flavor is fresh and bright, not syrupy sweet. The basil adds an unexpected herby note that makes it taste a little more interesting than your average summer drink. And whether you want a mocktail or a cocktail, this works either way.
