Recipe Note
Tracey’s Notes:
This is one of those drinks that feels like summer in a glass. The Strawberry Balsamic gives it a nice sweet and tangy flavor, and the fresh basil adds just enough herbal note to make it a little different from your everyday drink. I love how easy it is to put together—no fuss, just a quick stir and it’s ready to enjoy. It’s perfect on its own, but also really nice with a splash of sparkling water or even a little something extra if you’re making it into a cocktail.
