Which should you pick?
The Lebanese Mint Lemonade and Thai Basil Limeade share a very similar flavor profile — both are bright and citrus-forward and herbal and aromatic. The deciding factor here is the base spirit (none vs. none) and how each is served, so go with whichever spirit appeals to you more.
