Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 fresh strawberries
  • 3 fresh basil leaves
  • 2 oz tequila
  • 1 oz triple sec
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • ½ oz simple syrup

Instructions

  • Add the strawberries to the cocktail shaker, and muddle. Once you see some juices released, add the basil leaves and lightly muffle some more.
  • Add the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
  • Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds. Strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Garnish with a strawberry and a basil leaf. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Gently muddle the basil with strawberries to release their flavors. Basil can become bitter if over-muddled.
  2. Adjust the simple syrup to taste, considering the natural sweetness of your strawberries.
