Strawberry Basil Margarita

great flavor combo

A strawberry basil margarita is one of my favorite cocktail recipes. Taking a classic margarita recipe, I add fresh strawberries and basil to the tequila, triple sec, and lime. Serve it over ice for a refreshing tasty cocktail.

Triple Sec

Simple Syrup

Strawberries

KEY ingredients

Tequila

Basil

Lime Juice

Muddle

Muddle the strawberries in a cocktail shaker. Once some juices are released, add the basil leaves and lightly muddle some more.

Shake

Add the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup, then fill with ice and  shake vigorously.

Strain the cocktail into a glass filled with fresh ice and garnish with a strawberry and a basil leaf.

Tips

If you don’t have a shaker, you can simply muddle the strawberry and basil in a jar, add the remaining ingredients, cover with a lid, and give everything a good shake. Then pass the cocktail through a fine sieve into a clean glass.
