This sparkling basil lemonade cocktail is the perfect, refreshing summer drink to cool off with!

I can’t believe we’re at the end of August already, can you? Summer has flown by, yet seemed to drag on at the same time. I am a summer girl, without a doubt, but even I am over the excessive 19+ days of 100 degree temps.

On the weekends we usually like to hang out on the back deck, grill some dinner, and take a dip in the pool, and enjoy a refreshing drink. A couple of months ago I started looking for lower calorie alternatives to my typical vodka drinks.

White Claw® Hard Seltzer, which is made using a blend of seltzer water, gluten free BrewPure® alcohol, and natural flavor, contains 5% alcohol, 100 calories, and 0g carbs. That’s right, 100 calories and zero carbs. And did you know that if you mix that deliciousness with a mike’s® Hard Lemonade – a flavored malt beverage that uses real lemons (including the zest), and a basil leaf, you get a better-for-you cocktail that is light, refreshing, and delicious.

The perfect beverage to beat this summer heat. Even my dear husband, who is usually a beer-only guy, asked me to make him one and kept commenting how it was, “so refreshing!” If that doesn’t tell you something, then I’m not sure how else I can convey how perfectly amazing this cocktail is.

How do you make a sparkling basil lemonade cocktail? It’s really very simple.

1. Take two glasses and add a basil leaf to the bottom of each glass. Muddle the basil leaf to help release the flavor.
2. Add ice cubes to each glass.
3. Pour half a can of White Claw Pure Hard Seltzer into each glass.
4. Top each glass with half a bottle of mike’s Hard Lemonade Original.
5. Place a straw in each glass and light stir.

Welcome!

Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
