If you follow Amazingy on Instagram<\/a> and keep up with our stories\/lives, you probably know we enjoy having drinks on a pretty regular basis (though always in moderation!<\/em>). Whether we\u2019re celebrating the weekend, a birthday, or the launch of our Amazingy Charity Box<\/a>, chances are you\u2019ll likely see us popping a bottle almost every week. Our fridge is always stocked \u2013 so we always have a couple of bottles of Sekt on hand.<\/strong> And with summer in full swing, there\u2019s nothing more refreshing than sipping on a nice cocktail \u2013 at a bar terrace, in your kitchen while cooking, on your balcony, or in your garden (if you\u2019re lucky enough to have one<\/em>)! And the best summer cocktail is something with a summery taste that fits the season: strawberry & basil!<\/strong>

Strawberries are one of my favourite fruits. As I was saying while making this cocktail, I would happily travel around the globe to make sure strawberries are always in season wherever I am. When I moved to Germany, I discovered those little pop-up stands that appear in spring\/summer \u2013 in the streets and subway stations all over Berlin \u2013 called \u2018<\/strong>Karls Erdbeer-Hof<\/strong><\/a>\u2019. I was in heaven… their strawberries are always plump, super tasty, sweet & juicy. To paraphrase Tina Turner, they\u2019re \u201csimply the best\u201d \u2013 and they go great in both cocktails and salads. I love pairing them with basil & lime \u2013 you can never go wrong with this combo. Here together with rum & Cointreau, they give a deliciously fresh flavour \u2013 not too strong, and the Cointreau adds a sweet orange-y taste. But it\u2019s easier to taste than to tell! So here\u2019s the recipe for this Strawberry & Basil Cocktail \u2013 or <\/strong>\u2018The Amazingy Karls\u2019 <\/strong><\/em>as I\u2019d like to officially call it:<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(And I feel like I should mention that this article is not at all sponsored \u2013 but I just genuinely think that Karls\u2019 strawberries are the best!)<\/em>
