This Lemon and Basil Mocktail is both refreshing and hydrating with a tart flavor. It is perfect for those hot summer days!
The Refreshing & Tart Lemon and Basil Mocktail
This mocktail is one of my favorite beverages to enjoy during a hot summer day. The lemon juice provides a tart flavor, while the basil brings in a sweet, yet slightly spicy taste.
To prepare this mocktail, just a few simple steps are required.
- Place a few basil leaves in the bottom of a glass. Juice the lemon, muddling both the lemon juice and basil leaves together.
- Add a handful of ice cubes, then pour over the sparkling water. Garnish with additional basil and lemon wedges if desired.
That’s all there is to it! I love making this mocktail when I have homemade spaghetti on the weekly menu. This is a great way to use up the basil leaves before they go bad!
Looking for More Mocktail Ideas?
Mocktails provide hydration, added nutrients, flavor, and a make for a fun addition to any brunch, baby shower, or backyard wedding. If you are looking for other mocktail options, I love the classic Sunset Sweets Mocktail and Appletini Mocktail – not only are they delicious and easy to make, they add some great color to any table spread! The Sweet Dreams Cherry Mocktail is another beverage I would recommend as a delicious nightcap that can be used to promote a good night’s sleep.
