2 small basil leaves ripped by hand

This sounds like a refreshing beverage after a full day of cooking! I’ve never thought of strawberry and basil together! I’ve done mint before. Definitely going to give this a try! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Gin and tonic is my husband’s favourite drink. I’m excited to surprise him with this extra fancy version for the hoildays.
He will love it! It’s delicious, you should try it as well 🙂
Looks good – I usually like anything strawberry-flavored! #ThoughtfulSpot
