Sometimes you just feel like a refreshing Lemonade

Watermelon Basil Lemonade

I drink a lot of water, and sometimes I feel like a refreshing cold beverage.  I came up with this Watermelon Basil Lemonade based on the Watermelon Basil Martini that is served at the restaurant I work at.  So if you want to make it a real special occasion add gluten free vodka or tequila!


Watermelon Basil Lemonade

This recipe makes 2 servings

2 Cups of cubed fresh watermelon
2 lemons
1-2 tsp of local honey
4 large basil leaves

Put watermelon, the juice of the 2 lemons, and honey into a blender or food processor, puree. Chiffonade the basil leaves and place into watermelon mixture, let steep for 10 to 15 minutes. After the mixture has steeped strain.  Fill 2 glasses with Ice and divide the mixture into glasses. Have a seat on your patio and enjoy!

Cheers!
