    Refreshing strawberry basil lemonade that is so simple to make and tastes amazing! You'll be coming back for seconds! Or thirds. 

    Refreshing Strawberry Basil Lemonade! You'll be making it all the time!

    This summer I have been craving homemade lemonade all of the time. The bottled kind just doesn't do it for me and I want that homemade taste. Or just the tastes of real lemon juice.

    As I am writing this, I am sipping on this strawberry basil lemonade with these fantastic straws. We love those straws a lot because they taste for so long!

    Now this is your regular lemonade or even strawberry lemonade. It's strawberry basil lemonade and let me tell you, the basil is amazing.

    I love the taste of basil, especially when it is raw. This beverage is out-of-this-world crazy delicious and it will rock your socks. Not sure what rock your socks means, but I think it means... it will blow your mind away. It's good!

    Refreshing Strawberry Basil Lemonade! You'll be making it all the time!

    So far, I have shared with you blueberry lemonade, strawberry lemonade, and now this. I think there will be more to come before this summer ends.

    There is nothing more relaxing than sipping a glass of lemonade with a straw outside reading a book. I would love if I were able to do that everyday! Boy.. sounds amazing. Doesn't it?

    You can also make this into a delicious adult cocktail by adding vodka or something similar. It pairs perfectly, I will say!
