This cocktail is one of my absolute favorite summertime drinks. Jeremy and I celebrate the warm months with cocktails on the front or back porch. I love how a changing homemade drink menu can mark the seasons and create fun memories together!
Strawberry Basil Lemonade Cocktail, serves one.
fresh strawberries
basil
vodka (or gin—your choice!)
lemon
lemonade
In a tall glass, mix 1.5 ounces vodka, ice, lemonade, chopped basil leaves, and chopped strawberries. Stir and enjoy!
Don’t drink? Omit the vodka and you’re good! It’s just as delicious without.
I’m actively looking for ways to savor what we have left of summertime. What are your favorite warm weather drink recipes? Do you have any special summer traditions with your family? xx -Elsie

Oh nice! This looks delicious – thank you for sharing. Basically, everything with strawberries is yummy without doubt. When I prepare desserts with strawberries and want to make their taste stronger sprinkle them with a pinch of pepper – like here: http://www.listonic.com/protips/get/zorkidmvcl
Anyways, thanks again for sharing! Best wishes

This is the cutest drink, I just love something about fruit and greens inside a glass. I’d love to just keep it strawberry lemonade – so pretty for a bbq.

I love love love basil cocktails. I discovered it for the first time last summer, in a cucumber-basil-lemon concoction. It’s so perfect in sweet drinks and desserts on these warm days!

Love the way the drink looks and the napkins are so vibrant and beautiful!
I love strawberries, basil and lemonade cocktails! I usually prepare them without alcohol, but they are still really nice. I love chopping a few strawberries and put them in the bottom of the glass, so after drinking my cocktail I have a sort of strawberry and basil puree to eat with a spoon! 😉
