Refreshing lemonade is a drink recipe from Gordon Ramsay. Summer, heat, I want something cold and refreshing. It's time to make a wonderful refreshing lemonade. If there is no lime, it's not scary, you can use an ordinary lemon, only you need to add it a little more than lime - not two, but three. Although, everything is up to you, maybe you are not a fan of sour drinks. As for basil, you can certainly use purple, but green has a special note that goes very well with drinks. And purple basil is more suitable for cooking salads and other dishes, essential oils are more pronounced in it.

Recipe Ingredients

Lemon 2 pcs
Lime 2 pcs
Sugar 100 g
Basil 2-3 twigs

Cooking Recipe

To cook recipe of Gordan Ramsay's drink refreshing lemonade, wash and pat dry the basil. Wash the lime and lemon, cut in half and squeeze out the juice. Juice from citrus fruits can be squeezed out simply with your hands, but before that they should be slightly rolled, pressing, on the table. Or you can use a citrus juicer - it's much more convenient.

Pour the juice squeezed from lime and lemon into the decanter, then add ice - you can not spare it. Separate the leaves from the basil sprigs and add to the decanter with the rest of the ingredients. In order for the basil to release juice and aroma, it should be slightly crushed, but not much.

Next, pour sparkling water into the decanter, preferably already chilled, but room temperature will be fine, it was not in vain that ice was added to the lemonade. Such lemonade, thanks to ice, can be put on the table and it will be cold for a long time, or you can put it in the refrigerator and you will be surprised when after a few hours the ice will still float in refreshing lemonade.
