4 large strawberries
3 basil leaves, torn
1 part vodka
1 part club soda
½ part lime juice
1 part simple syrup
Place the strawberries and basil in a cocktail shaker. Muddle well using a muddler (if you don’t have a muddler, you can use the back of a wooden spoon). Fill the shaker half-full with ice and add remaining ingredients. Shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds. Strain into a chilled martini glass.

Five decades since boyhood summers at White Lake, a writer returns to see what time has changed — and what the water remembers.
At both the turn of the century and today, Beaufort’s waterfront has attracted a hum of commerce and community. At its heart, a historic avenue tells that history, from the stately double-porched homes to the sound of ships announcing their arrival at port.
Grab your goggles and dive into historic pools and nostalgic swimming holes, where cool relief and summer traditions have stood the test of time.
The smoky signature on our summer dinners isn’t the only lingering effect of an evening spent around the grates.
