Excellent drink! This was so refreshing in 100+ degree weather. I love basil in lemonade & I love strawberry lemonade. You just cannot go wrong with putting them all together! I used fresh squeezed lemon & Absolute brand vodka. I think the confectioner's sugar was especially nice, as after soaking up the strawberry juice it was a nice smooth texture instead of grainy, like granulated sugar. I muddled in the shaker with my wooden tart press. Made as a thank you for taking the time to review my Easy Veggie Salad With Asian Dressing, as your account does not accept zmail to thank you that way. I'm really glad I got to try this one & will be making it again & again! Thanks, Spencer!
