Strawberry basil lemonade

For anyone who spent the past weekend in New York, you know: It has been hot in the city. Ice cream is usually the best cure for climbing temps, but this weekend, I discovered an even better antidote: Strawberry basil lemonade. I was in Brooklyn Bridge Park when I found it, made fresh by a company called Lizzmonade. It was delicious—the basil and strawberries help prevent the sugary lemon juice from tasting too sweet. Try this recipe from Food 52 and make it yourself. As a garnish, fill your glass with thin slices of strawberries and basil leaves. Yum!
