Refreshing Lemon Herb Mocktail Recipe

Refreshing Non-alcoholic Drink

Herbal Lemon Mocktail

Sip an ice cold glass of this lemon herb mocktail, when you want a refreshing non-alcoholic drink that tastes delicious. 

It is bright, fruity and has layers of flavor, since it adds in the fresh flavors of basil, mint and ginger. 

The drink is fun for a party, but you can also enjoy it on a lazy afternoon at home. 

Adults will enjoy the complex flavors and kids can drink it, too. 

The drink can be made ahead of time, if you want to. 

Just wait to add the sparkling water until just before serving, so that it will be nice and bubbly. 

This is a family friendly beverage that tastes great, but also looks pretty. 

And, of course, food and drinks are more satisfying, when they are appealing to the eyes and the taste buds!
