Strawberry Lemon Vodka Crush

I made this one up but it was really delicious, I made it because I wanted to make Basil Simple Syrup, naturally I then needed a way to use it!

Start with a high ball glass, place sliced strawberries and sugar in the bottom, muddle slightly, squeeze in some lemon juice add a little basil simple syrup, 2 oz of vodka and 4 - 8oz of ginger beer. Garnish with Strawberry and Lemon!

To make basil simple syrup combine 1c sugar, 1c water and 6 basil leaves in a pot, bring to a boil.  Boil until mixture is reduced by about half.
