NEED {a strawberry basil mojito}

Yesterday I needed a coffee, but today I need a Strawberry Basil Mojito! Whoo, it is a HOT ONE here in San Diego. The humidity has been pretty unbearable... so bad that I find myself intentionally walking at a slower pace than normal so that I start don't sweating. Yes, walking-induced sweating. It's that hot. Where do you live? It's summatime all over, so maybe you need this recipe too!
