Flavor Lab: Strawberry Basil (Don't Knock It)

I get it. Basil sounds like something on a pizza, not in your drink. But hear me out.

Last week I muddled 4 strawberries and 3 basil leaves into a glass of classic lemonade. My sister made a face. My grandma raised an eyebrow. My dog tried to eat the cup.

Then they tasted it.

It was *floral*. Slightly sweet. Refreshing in a way regular lemonade isn't. Like summer wearing perfume.

**Try it:** muddle, pour, sip, brag.

Weird ideas are just good ideas in disguise. Always experiment. 🍓🌿
