Summer, but make it fancy. If you’re craving something that’s light, refreshing, and just a little bit extra, the Watermelon Basil Breeze is your new go-to drink. With a splash of sweetness from fresh watermelon, the aromatic zing of basil, and a burst of Strawberry Honeysuckle White Tea, this mocktail (or cocktail, if you’re in the mood!) will have you feeling like you’re lounging poolside in no time.
Ingredients:
- A few chunks of fresh watermelon 🍉
- 2-3 fresh basil leaves 🍃
- 4 oz Strawberry Honeysuckle White Tea 🍓
- A splash of lime juice 🍋
- Club soda, Sprite, or Champagne (for that bubbly kick) 🥂
Directions:
- Muddle time: In a shaker or glass, muddle a few chunks of fresh watermelon and a couple of fresh basil leaves. Get those flavors released and let the good vibes flow!
- Add your tea: Pour in 4 oz of Strawberry Honeysuckle White Tea—this fruity and floral blend adds the perfect amount of sweetness and lightness.
- Strain & ice: Strain the mix into a glass filled with ice. We want this drink as cold and crisp as possible.
- The fizz factor: Top it off with a splash of lime juice for a little tang. Then, pour in club soda for a refreshing pop of bubbles, Sprite for a sweeter twist, or champagne for some extra sparkle (your choice, you do you).
- Garnish & sip away: Throw in a sprig of basil or a watermelon wedge for that “wow” factor. Take a sip, kick back, and let summer take over.

This drink is the perfect balance of sweet, herbal, and refreshing—ideal for those long, sun-filled afternoons when you need a little pick-me-up. Whether you’re sipping it poolside, at brunch, or just because, the Watermelon Basil Breeze is here to elevate your summer.
