Hi there! I've been a bartender at the same restaurant for over 10 years. My favorite spirits to work with are rum (love a good tiki drink!), gin and amaros. I love to garden and I often use the herbs and produce I grow to make syrups and infusions. Cheers y'all! ...

Muddle the strawberries and shiso leaves in the bottom of a shaker. Add remaining ingredients, except club soda, and ice. Shake to chill, double strain into a Collins glass over ice. Top with club soda and garnish.

Editor's Note

Strawberry and shiso create a bright, herbaceous profile in this refreshing Collins. The drinking vinegar adds a sophisticated acid-sugar balance that shines in the summer heat.
