Basil Spritz

In the heat of summer a crisp and refreshing drink satisfies the thirst. Made with fresh basil and limes, this mocktail is quick to make and perfect for an afternoon break. Just make sure to return to your chores when you’ve finished!

The Basil Spritz

1 3/4 oz lime juice

3/4 oz honey simple

1-2 pinches salt

2-3 basil leaves

Mix lime juice, salt, simple, and basil in highball until salt is dissolved. Fill with ice. Top with soda water. Roll in shaker and serve.

I have made this with lemon juice and it’s decent as well. I just personally like the lime and basil combination. Feel free to experiment with your favourite citrus!
