I LOVE summer drinks with herbs, and when I am looking for a new summer combo, I always pull out this list from Lottie + Doof. I guess they aren’t too new anymore since there are only 4 and I loved them all (one of which I shamelessly suggested) — but since they are firmly in the summer camp, they seem new whenever it rolls around again. http://www.lottieanddoof.com/2010/06/drink-of-summer-2010-the-nominees-vote/
Thanks for the reminder for a few last weekends with delsiously summery drinks!
lavender bee’s knees is awesome too. 600ml gin + 2 C hot water infused with lavender, then strained, then mixed with 1 C honey, + 1 cup fresh lemon juice.
What I love about this list is all the concoctions are so refreshing. Basil and lemonade are also a great pairing (with or without vodka).

What fun! Yes, my herb beds are a riot — thanks for the great ideas for incorporating them into such refreshing cocktails!
