Serving Tips

I served these drinks in my favorite mason jars used as glasses.  How fun are these for a party? I also have a few mason jar glasses with handles that are fun to use when company comes over.

Feel free to add your favorite seltzer in place of the sparkling water too.  I think sliced limes would be great with this drink as well as the lemon. 

Even thinly sliced cucumber would work well with this recipe.  Experiment with the flavors and have fun with this Lemon Basil Mint Spritzer.

Notes

Before adding the sparkling water, lightly muddle the basil leaves in the glass. This releases the fragrant oils, maximizing the herb's flavor in your drink. Be careful not to over-muddle, as this can make the basil taste bitter.
