Watermelon, Strawberry & Basil Cooler

Since it’s Canada Day tomorrow, I thought I would celebrate by posting a “red” recipe. With the hot weather we’ve been experiencing lately, this watermelon, strawberry and basil cooler is the perfect thirst-quencher to cool you down. Watermelon is one of my favourite summer fruits, and this drink just screams summertime on the patio. The specks of basil add a pretty touch and pairs nicely with the watermelon and strawberry.
