cruisin'mama Posted February 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi, I had a drink on the Oosterdam last summer that I think was called a Strawberry-Basil Smash. I really enjoyed it. I know it had obviously strawberries and fresh basil leaves and also vodka but I don't know what else was in it. Does anyone know the recipe for this drink? Thanks!!

SilvertoGold Posted February 22, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I've tried the Strawberry Basil Bellisimo which seemed as you described. The basil is an infusion. Edited February 22, 2016 by SilvertoGold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising-along Posted February 22, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2016 ooh, I had that drink on the Eurodam one summer. I have no idea what is in it, hopefully someone knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin'mama Posted February 22, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The drink I had was in a rocks glass I think. It definitely had fresh basil leaves in it. I wish I had a picture of it so I could remember better! I had the drinks package so I was trying lots of drinks, but I kept going back to that one!

Rare chefestelle Posted February 22, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Being a smash, I suspect you crush the berries, muddle the basil, add vodka and soda. Maybe sugar if the berries are tart. Or use seven up instead of plain soda. Squeeze a lime wedge in to bring out the flavours. Just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted February 22, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi' date=' I had a drink on the Oosterdam last summer that I think was called a Strawberry-Basil Smash. I really enjoyed it.

It's very much like a Mojito, with Vodka instead of rum, basil instead of mint, and strawberries. So, aside from the fact that it's nothing at all like a Mojito, it's exactly the same. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
