"From How2Heroes website comes this awesome basil lemonade. I know, there are dozens of similar recipes on the internet! But this one is special, and I think its because the basil syrup is just stunning. Try it, you'll agree that its NOT just another basil lemonade. IMHO, a shot of vodka or tequila in each glass wouldn't do it any harm, either! Bottoms up!!!"
