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 from the folks at Wild Turkey. 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
