Basil-Cucumber Mojito image

I love mojitos, but sometimes I am just not feeling the mint. Luckily, this is a great alternative that brings together the complex aromatic flavor of basil and the cool, refreshing splash of a cucumber.

I was a bit hesitant to try this mojito because I'm not a huge fan of basil, but I'm so glad I did! The basil adds a really nice flavor that balances out the sweetness of the cucumber and lime. This is now my favorite mojito recipe!
