Blueberry Basil Fizz

Blueberry, lemon, and cinnamon are natural allies - the cinnamon in particular highlights the blueberry flavor. This refreshing mocktail combines all three with just a hint of basil in the background and topped with seltzer water.

Yield: 1 (8-10 oz.) beverage

Ingredients

• 2 oz. blueberry basil syrup

• 1 oz. cinnamon syrup

• 1/2 oz. lemon juice

• 1-2 basil leaves, for garnish

• Seltzer water

• Collins glass

Instructions

Combine the blueberry basil syrup, cinnamon syrup, and lemon juice in the Collins glass. Fill the glass with ice and top with seltzer water. Gently stir the ingredients together by pulling a spoon from the bottom of the glass to the top to just incorporate the syrup mixture into the seltzer.

For garnish, give the basil leaf a light smack between your hands (this helps to release some of the oils), and place in the top of the glass.
