Grown up lemonade is the perfect way to refresh this summer with friends. One of our favorite batch cocktails is Lemon Verbena lemonade – it’s fresh, simple and can be easily adapted as a mocktail.
A little about Lemon Verbena- Lemon Verbena is a lemon-scented leafy green herb that thrives during the warm summer months. The spear-shaped leaves grow quickly and will replenish after each harvest throughout the growing season. Lemon Verbena presents a strong “lemony” scent that comes alive once picked, crushed or sniffed.
