Nectarine and basil taste like a summer market in a glass. The lime keeps the sweetness in check and makes the fruit taste even juicier.
½ oz
lime juice
1½
nectarine pitted
4 leaves
basil
5 oz
water
Garnish: Basil leaf · Ice: Served up, no ice
Juicy and fragrant with sweet nectarine, a fresh lime edge and sweet, peppery basil.
Nectarines are closely related to peaches but have smooth skin, which makes them easy to blend without peeling. When ripe they are juicy and aromatic. Fresh basil adds a sweet, slightly peppery herb note, and lime juice brings freshness and balance.
This smoothie is best in high summer, when nectarines are at their ripest. It is light and refreshing, good for breakfast on a warm morning or as an afternoon drink.
