250g very ripe Supersweet Medium Pineapple, peeled
4 tbsp caster sugar
½ x 20g pack Thai basil, leaves picked, plus extra sprigs to serve
4 limes, juice
200ml white rum
crushed ice
200ml soda water

Cut the pineapple into 2cm chunks, removing the tough inner core as you go. Put into a large jug and use a rolling pin to muddle with the sugar and Thai basil leaves. Add the lime juice and mix.
Divide between 4 tall glasses and add 50ml rum to each. Fill with crushed ice, then top up with the soda water. Decorate with a sprig or two of Thai basil.
