What You'll Need

4 CUPS OF SWEET, HALVED STRAWBERRIES

6 CUPS (*DIET*) GINGER ALE

1/4 CUP LIME JUICE

CRUSHED ICE

1/2 CUP LOOSELY PACKED, SMALL BASIL LEAVES

8 THIN SLICES OF FRESH GINGER

PREP TIME: 20 SHORT MINUTES

SERVES: 8 THIRSTY BABES

PRO-TIP

To make it alcoholic: pour as much vodka or light rum as you'd like (or if you're more of a measurements gal, you can go with the recipe's suggestion of 2 tablespoons [1 oz.])!

Let's Get Mixing

STEP 1:

Grab your blender or food processor, combine your sweet strawberries, 1/2 cup of the (*diet*) ginger ale and the lime juice. Cover and blend or process until smooth. If you're not one for pulp, feel free to strain the mixture!

STEP 2:

Transfer your fresh strawberry mixture to a large pitcher. Slowly pour in the remaining ginger ale & stir gently. Fill each of the eight glasses with crushed ice; divide basil and ginger among each glass. Pour in strawberry mixture.

**If you're making it alcoholic, add your pick before pouring in the strawberry mixture.

***Or, if you're reallly fancy, you can do that thing where they put the cup in the other cup & give the mixture a good shake!

STEP 3:

Enjoy!
