8 Refreshing Flavor Combinations For Your Water
1. Mint Lemonade: An oldie but a goodie. Mint lemonade is always a hit, whether served at a summer barbecue or sipped as a pick-me-up after a good workout session. Tip: Add a few fresh sprigs of mint to True Lemon Original Lemonade and serve over ice.
2. Ginger Basil Grapefruit: When you're in the mood for a rockin' mocktail, give this perfectly tart flavor combo a go. Tip: Muddle fresh basil, add grated ginger, combine with True Grapefruit and serve over ice.
3. Lavender Peach Lemonade: This simple and soothing combo makes for a tasty after-work beverage. We think it tastes even better when consumed in a rocking chair. Tip: Add sprigs of fresh lavender or, if you can find it, lavender simple syrup to True Lemon Peach Lemonade and serve over ice.
4. Watermelon Lime Basil: There is nothing quite like a watermelon cooler on a hot summer day with a bit of natural zest to make you smile. Tip: Blend chunks of ripe watermelon, muddle fresh basil and finish by adding 1 or 2 packets of True Lime. Viola!

Tip: Puree fresh cucumber and rosemary in a food processor and add to True Lemon Original Lemonade with water, serve over ice, garnish with sprig of rosemary and thin slice of cuke. Sip, smile, and sigh.
7. Pineapple Mint Limeade: Never got a chance to hit this beach this summer? This tropical triad of tastes will make you feel otherwise. Tip: Add fresh muddled mint to True Lime Limeade and top with a splash of pineapple juice. Garnish your glass with a big chunk of pineapple (and a mini umbrella for the win).
