With sweet and bright flavors, this Strawberry Basil Lemonade is cool, refreshing and beautiful.

Living the Gourmet: Strawberry Basil Lemonade

Stephanie, the girl behind Dessert Before Dinner has made some of the most exceptional dishes. I am particularly interested in making these Ebelskiver!

I could get lost, scrolling through Stephanie’s blog. It is enticing and delightful. Needless to say, I was thrilled to have been assigned her site for this month’s Secret Recipe Club.

With the temperatures heating up, I was drawn to this refreshing Strawberry Basil Lemonade. It is a beautiful concoction that boasts of earthy influences and subtle sweet notes- a perfect treat after working in the garden.

    Gosh Tammy, that’s a new twist indeed. I would have never thought of using basil in lemonade. Awesome.

    Have a terrific day. My best to you, your mom and your brother too. 🙂

    I never would have thought to put basil in lemonade, but basil and lemon go so well together, so why not!

    Hi Tammy,
    You and I are on the same wave length this week. My post is all about May being National Strawberry Month. So this delicious drink is perfect for now and for anytime in the summer. It looks so tasty and inviting. Love lemonade and this one so different mixed with the basil. Never would have thought about that…Thanks for posting and sharing this one. Your photo looks lovely as well. You are extremely talented in so many ways…Have a blessed week ahead.
    Hugs xx Dottie 🙂

    Really want to try this! I was surprised when I read the recipe that the strawberries and basil are not in the lemonade, just served on the side….interesting!

    Okay, so I’m the jerk who got you this month and did not post on time! I am so, so sorry. It’ll be posted next Monday with Group D. I’m a loser who can’t count her Mondays (I had it in my head that I needed to post next monday). I loved your blog and I hope that when you eventually see what I posted you’ll forgive me just a tiny bit.

    I love basil in lemonade (and limeades too). This would be so refreshing, do the two basil leaves get blended with the ice, lemon juice and simple syrup? I bet this would be delish with some vodka in it also 😉
