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 invigorating mixed drink, ideal for summer open air tasting!
Strawberry. Basil. MARGARITA. Would i be able to get a "gracious hell yeah"?!? It's hard to believe, but it's true. I took summer's best flavors – succulent sweet strawberries and peppery invigorating basil – and I pounded them up into summer's best mixed drink. As a matter of fact, I didn't squash them, I mixed them, however more on that later.
I'd like to guarantee that I did this just for you, however no, companions, no I didn't – I did it for me. Furthermore, it was an exceptionally, generally excellent thing I accomplished for myself.
The uplifting news? YOU can get in on this activity as well! Be thoughtful to yourself – make a strawberry basil margarita.
