Raspberry Mango Basil Lemonade

The finish line is almost here, parents. Summer. Time for swimming, adventures and exponential sibling arguments. Ha! While I look forward to having both of my loves at home, I know that my mom arsenal is going to need some reinforcements. And that’s when I pull out my summer drink. Lemonade. Nothing says summer like a tall glass of lemonade, something that mom can sip and appreciate during the long days of the season.

“Hold on kids, Mommy needs her lemonade first.”

And this summer, we’re taking our favorite summer drink to a whole new level with this homemade Raspberry Mango Basil Lemonade. Ready to make this fresh twist on a classic family-friendly drink? Pour me a glass!

Where do I go to get my fresh produce? My local Publix. And this summer, your fresh produce purchase does so much more than quench your family’s thirst.
