Strawberry mojito

Steps

1. Combine the water, sugar, and strawberries in a pot and bring it to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, mashing the strawberries with a spoon once soft.
3. Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve.
4. Add the mint, basil, and syrup to a cocktail shaker and muddle for about 30 seconds.
5. Put a handful of ice into the shaker, add the rum and lemon juice, and stir until it's cold.
6. Strain your strawberry mojito into a tall, ice-filled glass, top it with soda water.
7. Garnish with strawberries, mint, and basil.
