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.
