Basil Lime Spritzer

Serve this spritzer as a rejuvenating treat in the summer heat, or try the basil lime syrup drizzled over your favorite melon. If you decide to add alcohol to a few glasses, garnish with either a fresh sprig of basil or a lime wheel to differentiate them from the virgin drinks.
