Mmm. I can see this pairing nicely with slow smoked ribs, slaw, beans and cornbread this weekend, or any summer weekend. This recipe comes to www.culinarythymes.com [1] from the folks at Wild Turkey [2]. The drink blends the flavors of an Arnold Palmer — iced tea and lemonade — sweetened with their American Honey, a honey liqueur, and fresh basil. (If you’ve got the basil growing in your garden like I do, even better.) -alyce eyster
