This mocktail is the perfect refresher on a hot summer day when you want something tart and fruity to sip on while enjoying the sunshine. I love the addition of the mint infused simple syrup! It adds the perfect balance of fresh and sweet. Make a pitcher of this goodness and have your friends over to enjoy a glass on the patio with you!
