Instructions

The Verdant Basil Breeze is a refreshing and aromatic mocktail that captures the essence of a summer garden. With the invigorating freshness of basil and the crisp, tangy notes of citrus, this drink offers a delightful sensory experience that's both soothing and revitalizing. Perfect for those warm afternoons or as a sophisticated non-alcoholic option at gatherings. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz fresh basil syrup - 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice - 3 oz chilled cucumber juice - 1 oz sparkling water - Fresh basil leaves for garnish - Cucumber slice for garnish **Instructions:** 1. Prepare the basil syrup by blending a handful of fresh basil leaves with equal parts of water and sugar, simmering until the sugar dissolves, and straining the mixture. Allow it to cool. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the basil syrup, lime juice, and cucumber juice. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into a chilled highball glass filled with ice. 5. Top with sparkling water for a fizzy finish. 6. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf and a thin slice of cucumber on the rim. **Glassware:** Serve in a highball glass to highlight the vibrant green hue and allow room for the sparkling water to integrate seamlessly.
