Ingredients

4 servings

For the strawberry basil syrup

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup water
10 fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish

For the cooler

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
4 cups sparkling water, chilled
2 cups ice cubes

For serving

4 fresh strawberries, halved (optional)
4 fresh basil sprigs (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the strawberries, maple syrup, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries have softened and released their juices and the liquid is lightly syrupy, about 5 minutes.
2
Remove the pan from the heat. Add the basil leaves and press them gently into the warm syrup with a muddler or the back of a spoon. Let the mixture steep for 10 minutes, until the syrup is fragrant with basil.
