Enjoy a Strawberry Basil Margarita, which is a delightful fusion of tequila, luscious strawberries, and fresh basil. An essential drink to try.

  • 4-5 fresh basil leaves
  • Optional: salt for the rim and a strawberry or basil leaf for garnish.

Instructions

  • If you like a salted rim, start by running a lime wedge around the edge of your glass and dip it in salt.
