Lime rickey with sweet basil
I almost never drink anything other than coffee, wine or beer (oh, and water, of course!)...unless it is made with lime juice. After moving to the East Coast, I developed a penchant for lime rickeys. They're a refreshing summer drink, made even more delicious and refreshing with the addition of some muddled herbs. Mint is, of course, good, but I love the mild licorice punch added by using sweet basil. And, if you want to add a splash of rum or vodka, I definitely won't stop you!
Basil and lemongrass Iced Tea
A friend brought me some Lemongrass tea from the Seychelles and since I grow Basil and always have a good amount or I freeze excess basil. I have used this recipe many times. It was originally made with lemongrass stalks-which are more accessible. I will give the recipe with the stalks.

BASIL LIME GRANITA
I made this recipe for the first time a few months ago, when I really wanted to do something different that would impress! It does take some time and attention, but well worth it! It is great over melon served with mint, I served it over Honeydew and Cantaloupe.
Sweet Basil Honey Tea

Herbal or citrus ice
Well I was actually experimenting with making a sun tea from staghorn sumac berries recently, where I strained the berries to yield a pale pink lemonesque beverage. Somehow, I wanted to include the fuzzy berries, without them being a nuisance to the drink itself...so I froze some of the drink with some of the berries in an ice cube tray: Don't! The basil is too thin and it will oxidize. But your can use herbs with tougher more leathery leaves. Citrus peels will also work well. Since basil leaves are very thin, if you want to use them in an ice cube, it is best to infuse the water first and then remove the leaves before freezing. Using basil in the ice cube itself may look nice for a short time, but the leaves tend to turn a bit slimy when the cube melts.
Lime-cucumber liquado
Marlene offered to bring this to our Board of Directors meeting. It turned out to be more delicious than anyone ever imagined. Luckily there was a little bit left that I had with vodka that evening!
Chamomile Meditation Tea
The beauty of growing your own chamomile is you can pick just the flowers which look beautiful floating in the teapot or cup of tea. I personally like the German over the Roman chamomile. The Roman just seems to fruity to me. The meditation part of this recipe comes from spending a couple of hours outside carefully picking each of these flowers. Seems tedious but then you find yourself adrift in thought, smelling the beautiful scent of chamomile, and the soothing buzz of insects cruising from bud to bud. I eventually wind up with about a gallon container full of flowers. I will put the flowers on a large screen to dry and I won't drink any of this tea till late fall or early winter. But rest assured when I do it will instantly take me back to the warm early summer afternoon of flower picking. I really like it when I can find a little bit of summer in winter.
Cucumber Agua Fresca
This translates into cucumber fresh water and a better name could not be found. Because refreshing with a citrus zing is exactly what this is. I prefer this unsweetened, but I have a friend who adds a tiny touch of honey to his glass, which is nice too (a little vodka wouldn't hurt either!) - SippitySup
Strawberry Rose Coulis...with 3 suggestions.
Champagne Coulis recipe with a wee bit of rose water tastes like love to me, sweet, bright with an sly sensuous perfume wafting hopefully in the background.
Watermelonade
My sister and some friends recently threw me a lovely bridal shower. The food, provided by Go Catering, was delicious. Happy guests devoured crudités, curried chicken salad, mini grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon, sausage rolls, and homemade currant and ginger scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam. To drink, there was a crisp rosé and a refreshing concoction of fresh watermelon, lemon, sugar and water known as "watermelonade." Apparently, it's one of the caterer's specialties, and everyone raved about the juicy, pink drink. This past weekend, I couldn't resist attempting it myself.

Minty Iced Tea
I keep a container of this concentrate in my fridge almost all the time. It's a refreshing, envigorating way to use up an abundance of spring mint. - vvvanessa
Fresh Cucumber Foretaste
I created this drink for a large dinner party, and couldn't refill glasses fast enough! It's really simple, refreshing, and a great start to a meal-I served it in small shot glasses with the hors d'oeuvres. Feel free to add a splash of really good vodka or Bacardi to this one, to make it an 'adult beverage'.
Cardamom Chai
As a purebred teas drinker, I was skeptical about Cardamom Chai and its maelstrom of spices and blast of sugar. I tried this recipe and it became a favorite.
Lemon Rosemary Fizz
Very few ingredients come together for a delicious afternoon drink, best enjoyed in a garden, or at least while thinking of one! The rosemary simply syrup keeps well in the fridge if you have extra. - LindsayMaitland
Rose-scented Mexican Hot Chocolate
Since my friend brought me back a Molinillo and some Abuelita (Mexican Chocolate), I've been looking for an excuse to make some hot chocolate. The addition of dried Persian rose petals gives it a subtle fragrance and a slightly eastern flavour.
Nutella Mocha Frappé
Sconegirl and I created this recipe for her Italian class video project. She and two friends put together a fabulous menu of homemade gnocchi, cannoli and this frappé. The video is so entertaining, and contains a hysterically funny blooper reel at the end (including unplanned pyrotechnics.)
Milk and Honey
If I’m trying to relax, a mug of warm milk always seems to do the trick. So does liquor, but this honey and milk recipe is a more virtuous non-alcoholic option.
Poor Man's Kombucha
This drink has the vinegar-y tang of kombucha, without the cringe-inducing price tag. Of course, the ultimate poor man's kombucha would be to make your own, but this is faster and less work, and has a charm all its own.
