Revitalise the mind and body with Al Rawabi

Refresh your summer with Strawberry Basil Lemonade

Summers are incomplete without lemonade. Here’s a refreshing twist on the classic sunny-day sidekick. Perfect for those weekend get-togethers, this recipe serves three to four people, if you choose to share it.

The mocktail begins with a delicious base of homemade Strawberry Basil Syrup and ends with a generous top-up of Al Rawabi Lemonade.

You’ll need:

- 2 cups strawberries de-stemmed and sliced

- 1 cup of basil leaves

- ½ cup of honey

- 2 cups of water

Start sipping up the summer

In a saucepan, combine the strawberries, basil, honey, and still water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cool for about 20 to 25 minutes until the strawberries are pale red and the mixture has thickened slightly.

Your Strawberry Basil Syrup is ready to be mixed into a large pitcher with Al Rawabi Lemonade and ice-cold sparkling water. Add in a few sliced strawberries and basil leaves for a delicious garnish and serve chilled. Your summer days just got refreshed!

Fruity Mocktail

Can’t decide which fruit juice to go with? Why not choose a mix of all? This fruity mocktail uses Al Rawabi Fruit Cocktail juice to paint you a rainbow in both flavour profile and presentation. Because the only thing better than one kind of juice is a mix of them all.

Ingredients

-800 ml Al Rawabi Fruit Cocktail

-3 cups Sparkling Water

-2 cups Mixed Fruit

Method

In a pitcher, combine your Al Rawabi Fruit Cocktail juice, sparkling water, and ½ of the mixed fruit. This can be any fruit of your choice — from blueberries, and strawberries, to blackberries and melon balls.

Keep it cool until you’re ready to serve it by placing the pitcher in the fridge.

Now comes the fun part — use the remaining fruit to make little skewers for garnish. Mix it up and get as colourful as you can.

When it’s mocktail o’clock, pour the chilled mix over ice between four glasses, making sure to get fruit in each. Top it off with a fruit skewer and you’re ready to drink up!
