Welcome to the third, and final (!), Summer Sips Series of 2020! Three months of summer, and three thirst quenching cocktails to celebrate! Have you read the first two? Click here to learn how I made a Boozy Peach Bellini, or how I used Winc white wine to make Sangria! While these two bevies were delish, and certainly hits this summer – I’ve saved the best for last!
This low carb cocktail is so light and refreshing, using Tay & I’s favorite vodka, Tito’s! We recently were successful in keeping a basil plant alive for more than a few days (…the Wilson’s all have green thumbs, can’t quite say that for the Cotton genes in me). With all this basil, it’d be a crime to not make a basil lemonade! Add sweet blueberries + some Tito’s in there, and you’ve got yourself one heck of a cocktail. Not drinking? Just make the blueberry basil lemonade, and forego the vodka! Check out the step by step:
