Strawberry Basil Margarita Summer Cocktail #healthydrink #easyrecipe

Tired of the straight-up margarita? This strawberry basil margarita is a fun curve on the work of art. It's a sweet, tart and reviving mixed drink, ideal for summer open air tasting!

It's hard to believe, but it's true. I took summer's best flavors – succulent sweet strawberries and peppery reviving basil – and I pounded them up into summer's best mixed drink. As a matter of fact, I didn't pound them, I mixed them, yet more on that later.

I'd like to guarantee that I did this for you, however no, companions, no I didn't – I did it for me. What's more, it was a, generally amazing thing I accomplished for myself.

For two – they're simple. To change a standard margarita into a strawberry basil margarita, you basically need a blender and a muddler. Simple peasy tequila squeezy.

For three – you'll convey every one of the companions to your yard/pool/table when you offer up a group of these sweet, beautiful and very delightful summer mixed drinks.

3. 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.
