    How to Make Cucumber Basil Mocktail

    This light and refreshing drink is perfect for any occasion! Enjoy the perfect beverage combination of crisp cucumber slices, fragrant basil leaves, fresh lime juice, and a gentle fizz of club soda. It’s sweetened with a squeeze of Splenda® Stevia Liquid Sweetener – it tastes like sugar without the calories!

    Recipe note: Blending carbonated water can cause the gas bubbles to expand and burst, and can cause overflow from the blender. To reduce this, blend on slower speeds and only adding half of the club soda to the blender and the other half after blending.
