Ingredients:
| 2/3 cup honey | 1/2 cup lime juice | 2 cup ice |
| 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves | 1/4 cup apple juice | |
| 1/2 cup lemon juice | 2 cup cold water |
Directions
- Using a tool or your hands, freshly squeeze and measure out your lemon and lime juice. Place into a blender.
- Combine all other ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth – you don’t want your ice to be too chunky, so try using crushed ice if possible!
- Pour into a glass and garnish with a lime wedge and some fresh basil leaves!
Make It This Way
If you prefer, you can use maple syrup, agave or yacon syrup instead of honey.
Swap out the apple juice for your favourite juice instead, we suggest grapefruit, orange or watermelon juice for a refreshing taste!

Top off this drink with some sparkling wine or champagne for an extra special occasion!
