Comment préparer Lemongrass Lime Thai Basil Mojito

**Part 1: Lemongrass Simple Syrup**
Chop 4 stalks of lemongrass into 1-inch pieces and gently bruise them using a mortar and pestle to release their oils.
Combine the bruised lemongrass, 1 cup of water, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the syrup steep for at least 2 hours (or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator) to allow the lemongrass to infuse.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the lemongrass to extract all the flavor. Discard the lemongrass.
Refrigerate the strained syrup until ready to use. (It will keep for up to 2 weeks).
**Part 2: Cocktail Assembly**
Add 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar to each of 4 cocktail glasses.
Add 1 lime wedge to each glass along with a handful (about 1/4 cup) of fresh Thai basil leaves.
Gently muddle the sugar, lime, and basil in each glass to release their flavors.
Pour 2 ounces of white rum into each glass.
Add 2 ounces of the chilled lemongrass simple syrup to each glass.
Fill each glass with ice.
Top with club soda.
Stir gently and serve immediately.
