Strawberry-Basil Sparkler
This sparkler is the *royal wedding* of sweet and savory. It’s fresh, vibrant, and of course, everything is made infinitely more delicious with Whatcom-grown strawberries in the peak of summer. If you’re in a creative or experimental mood, feel free to switch out the basil for another herb, or add a few. A little lemon balm and mint combo could hit the spot, and you might even have them growing in your garden. Full of spirit (but alcohol-free!), the Strawberry-Basil Sparkler is best enjoyed while kicking your feet up in the sunshine.
