Garden Basil Lemonade Mocktail

Refreshing, herbaceous, and oh-so-sippable — this Garden Basil Lemonade is a sunshine-in-a-glass kind of mocktail. Made with tart lemon juice, floral honey, and fresh muddled basil, it’s a beautiful balance of sweet and tangy. Finished with sparkling water and served over ice, it’s perfect for wellness events, baby showers, picnics, or just a summer afternoon that needs a little extra sparkle.
