Strawberry Basil Margarita #drinks #alcohol
Strawberry. Basil. MARGARITA. Would i be able to get a "gracious hell yeah"?!? The truth is out. I took summer's best flavors – delicious sweet strawberries and peppery invigorating basil – and I squashed them up into summer's best mixed drink. As a matter of fact, I didn't squash them, I mixed them, yet more on that later. Tired of the straight-up margarita? This strawberry basil margarita is a fun bend on the work of art. It's a sweet, tart and reviving mixed drink, ideal for summer open air tasting!

On the Rocks
- Pour about 1/4 cup of kosher salt onto a small side plate. Rub the juiced lime rhine around the edge of two rocks glasses, then dip each glass into the plate of salt to rim the edges. Fill each glass with crushed ice or several ice cubs.
- Place the strawberries, tequila, cointreau, lime juice and honey into a blender. Blend thoroughly on high until the strawberries are pulverized. Finely chop the basil and place into the bottom of a decanter or cocktail shaker. Muddle the basil to release the flavors and oils. Pour the blended margarita ingredients into the decanter along with the muddle basil and stir vigorously to incorporate. Pour into salted, iced glasses and serve immediately.
