Chef Jacqui Renager joins Coast Live to show off the Water Street Caprese Burger—a creative mash-up of savory flavors which pairs perfectly with a delicious and refreshing Strawberry Basil Lemonade.
Here's what you'll need to assemble the burger:
- Toasted burger bun
- 1 6 oz burger patty
- 2 tbsp pesto sauce
- 1 large slice fresh mozzarella
- 2 slices fresh tomatoes
- 3-4 slices prosciutto
Here's instructions for making the Strawberry Basil Lemonade:
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice – about 10-12 lemons
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 ½ cups hot water
- 12-14 strawberries (tops removed)
- 1/3 cup fresh basil
- Optional – ½ cup vodka
Pour fresh lemon juice into a large pitcher. In a bowl, pour hot water and sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar. Let cool completely and then add to pitcher. Add strawberries and basil. Use an immersion blender for about 20 – 30 seconds until the mixture turns pink. Strain the mixture to remove the basil bits if you don’t want them in there. Serve over ice and enjoy.
