Basil Pineapple Mocktail

🧂 Ingredients

• 3-4 Fresh Basil Leaves
• 1 cup Pineapple Juice

  store-bought is fine
• 1 can Lemon-Lime Soda

  I used sugar-free
• Ice Cubes
• Pineapple wedges, slices, or cubes

  optional

Instructions

• 1 Start by chilling your serving glass in the freezer for a few minutes, if
  desired, to keep your mocktail cool.
• 2 Take the fresh basil leaves and tear them into small pieces with your hand. Use
  a muddler or the back of a spoon in a bowl to crush the basil. The earlier you
  do this, the more pronounced the basil flavor will be.
• 3 Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes to create a refreshing base for your
  drink.
• 4 Place the basil on top of the ice.
• 5 Pour the pineapple juice into the glass, filling it about halfway.
• 6 Slowly pour the lemon-lime soda over the pineapple juice. The carbonation will
  add a light fizziness to the drink.
• 7 Gently stir the mixture with a long spoon to combine the flavors without losing
  the fizz.
• 8 Optionally, garnish the drink with a small pineapple wedge on the rim of the
  glass for an extra tropical touch.
• 9 Serve immediately.
