The Parlor's Strawberry Basil Lemonade
Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | June 29, 2024
What beats an icy-cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer day? How about an adult-ified version with berries, herbs, and a boozy kick? Enter: The Parlor’s Strawberry Basil Lemonade ($13). This quenching cocktail has long been part of the bar’s staple menu, and it tastes like nostalgia, only better. It starts with a base of muddled strawberries, fresh lemon juice, and a squirt of simple syrup, which bartenders shake with your choice of vodka, plus basil leaves and plenty of ice. Topped with soda and fresh fruit, this summer sipper is equal parts zesty and fresh, and it goes perfectly with a warm night outside—and maybe an order of Spinach Artichoke Dip. Find The Parlor at 205 Lake Ave. in Traverse City, and keep your eyes peeled for an extended happy hour! (231) 753-3131; theparlortc.com
