Thought this would be really good.  No one liked it!

This is no where near as good as the blackberry-vanilla vodka lemonade from the same issue!!! Still a great lemonade though! Like Bizzyboolou, I didn't muddle this, I used my vitamix, so no need to strain either! I also swapped out a cup of water for a cup of vodka...this one was for the adults only:)

SO good.  A couple adjustments: instead of muddling, my husband used the immersion blender on everything except for the basil, then added the basil, chopped, &amp; steeped as directed; also only added 3 cups of water instead of 4.  Less water meant that we could later add a) more water, b) club soda, or c) gin or vodka.  :)  Made it for guests this weekend!  What a hit!
