Description
The Berry Basil Fizz is an explosion of summer flavors. The natural sweetness and slight acidity of mixed berries like raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries meet the peppery, aromatic note of fresh basil. Rounded out with the brightness of lemon and a touch of honey, and topped with sparkling soda water, this mocktail is both complex and incredibly approachable. It is the perfect choice to celebrate the fruits of summer.
Preparation
- Place the berries and basil leaves in a cocktail shaker.
- Muddle well to extract the juices and aromas.
- Add lemon juice and honey syrup.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously.
- Double-strain the contents through a sieve into a tumbler glass filled with fresh ice.
- Top up with soda water and stir gently.
- Garnish with a few fresh berries and a basil sprig.
