This Garden Fresh Cocktail Recipe provides a fresh spin on the original gin and Tonic. This sparkling cocktail recipe uses fresh basil and combines it with freshly grown lemon wedges.
The freshly muddled basil brings a fresh scent to each cocktail while the lemon wedge pairs perfectly with the Gin & Sparkling Soda.
Together, the fresh basil leaves and lemon provide a fresh flavor profile and just tastes like summer.
The prep time required to make this drink is near none – just slice your lemon!
Give this summertime sparkling cocktail a try.
