"This is a take on an American classic. Traditionally, a switchell is a sweet and sour fermented beverage that farmers would consume during peak harvest times. It's also great as a refreshing nonalcoholic drink - simply substitute additional seltzer water for the vodka. This is a great way to use up basil in your garden. Source: Christopher and Marc Home"
