Citrus Garden Spritz
Lime sharpens the citrus sweetness, while cucumber and basil lend a cool, green finish. This very pale yellow spritz stays mostly transparent, with soft green hints from the muddled cucumber and a fresh basil aroma above the bubbles.

Ingredients
One glass · US measures
- 6 fl oz BEA Citrus Sunrise, well chilled (177 mL; ½ of a 12 fl oz can)
- 3 thin cucumber rounds, for muddling
- ½ fl oz fresh lime juice (1 Tbsp)
- 3 fresh basil leaves, divided
- 1 thin cucumber ribbon and 1 thin lime wheel, for garnish
- ¾ cup ice cubes
The 6 fl oz of BEA contributes approximately 63 mg caffeine. All other ingredients in this recipe are caffeine-free.
How to mix it
- 1
Place 3 cucumber rounds, 2 basil leaves, and the lime juice in the glass.
- 2
Press gently with a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon until the cucumber releases a little juice; avoid shredding the basil.
- 3
Add the ice, then pour in the chilled BEA Citrus Sunrise last and stir gently once or twice.
- 4
Tuck the cucumber ribbon against the glass, add the lime wheel, and place the remaining basil leaf on top. Serve immediately.
The finishing touch
Use thin cucumber rounds so a gentle press releases their juice without making a heavy pulp.
Serve alongside: Lemon chicken skewers
