• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon water
• 1 pinch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
• 3 medium Thai basil leaves
• 3 mint leaves
• Juice of half a lime
• Club soda

Instructions

In the bottom of a collins or mixing glass, muddle the sugar, water, herbs and lime juice. Pour in rum and stir. Top with crushed ice and club soda. Garnish with a lime wheel.
