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!

These folks are sweet and tart, however in particular overflowing with the most regularly suitable nectar-from-the-divine beings – no, I'm not discussing strawberries, I'm discussing the all-powerful tequila. Get your hands on a jug of tequila and empty some into a blender. Be liberal yet not a flushed. Include a bunch of crisp strawberries, some cointreau, some lime juice, and some nectar. No sugar required! Presently mix until the strawberries are completely pounded. We have the strawberry secured.

Onto the basil! Put some cleaved basil into the base of a mixed drink shaker. Tangle. Pour the strawberry margarita base over the obfuscate basil. Mix… or shake. Do your thing. At that point fill a glass rimmed with salt and loaded up with. Taste… taste the mid year… and appreciate it!
