Strawberry and lemon cocktail
Description
This cocktail can be enjoyed at any time of the day, as it contains not a single drop of alcohol. However, for a party, you can add a bit of vodka or dry vermouth. The cocktail should be garnished with ice (optional), a strawberry, or a sprig of green basil. Instead of basil, you can use mint. Serve and enjoy.
