Strawberry Basil Shooters

Recently I got together for drinks, dinner, and a night out on the town with the girls.

These Strawberry Basil Shooters were the perfect start to our Happy Hour – delicious, nutritious, and even beautiful to look at – a true trifecta of tasty!

I bet you’ll love them as much as we did. 🙂

With this drink, you’ll reap the benefits of strawberries (high in fiber and vitamins), basil (great for digestion), and coconut water (keeps you extra hydrated for a night out)!

Try it out and let me know what you think! 

(We enjoyed ours as mocktails, but if you do want to add alcohol to it, I’d recommend using an organic vodka. :))
