Tips:
- Choose ripe watermelon: A ripe watermelon will be heavy for its size and have a deep red color. Avoid watermelons that have bruises or soft spots.
- Use fresh basil: Fresh basil has the best flavor, so if possible, use it in this recipe. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it will not be as flavorful.
- Chill the ingredients before assembling: This will help to keep the spritzer cold and refreshing.
- Serve immediately: This spritzer is best enjoyed immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will dilute.
Conclusion:
This watermelon basil spritzer is a refreshing and delicious summer drink. It is easy to make and perfect for any occasion. Whether you are hosting a party or just looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy on a hot day, this spritzer is sure to please.
