Just take a look at it and try to resist… it’s not only so pretty, it tastes delicious too. 

Strawberry Basil Lemon Smash Drink Recipes

 

I am a huge strawberry and lemon fan… and there are so many options to enjoy such great flavors together in a drink to your liking…

You can make this Strawberry Basil Lemon Smash a cocktail or a mocktail you choose.

I just love fresh herbs and adding in some fresh basil to this drink gives it a super fresh flavor that is undeniable!

I’ve been making Strawberry Smashes for months, so many varieties and all delicious. The key is fresh ripe strawberries!

I’m all about simple drinks.

This is so tasty and not overly sweet which is so great especially if you are low carb and still want a cocktail or mocktail.

You can make this drink as sweet as you prefer. 

Lemon seltzer is perfect in this, but plain seltzer water will work just as well.

When I smash up the strawberries, I added some basil to it to give it some added flavor.

Basil gives fruity lemonade drinks a great minty flavor without overpowering it.

If you want it SUPER Strawberry flavored drink you can add more than just fresh strawberries… make a batch of my Strawberry Syrup and add a tablespoon or two into each drink, it’s so delicious!
