Muddle gently with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the essence without shredding the leaves.
Add the fresh lime juice and fill the glass with ice.
Top with cold sparkling water and stir gently to integrate the flavors while maintaining the carbonation.
Garnish with an extra sprig of basil and a lime wheel for a vibrant presentation.
