Strawberry Basil Lime Margarita

StrawberryLimeBasilMargy

It officially feels like summer here in Boston and what better way to celebrate then with a fruity margarita! Stop by your local farmer’s market and scoop up fresh basil and strawberries. This recipe would work well with blueberries, too.

Ingredients

  • Fresh, local strawberries (4 strawberries per serving, cut small)
  • Half a lime
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 5 lemon basil leaves
  • 2 shots of silver tequila
  • Fever Tree tonic water

Method

Toss the strawberries, lime, sugar, and basil leaves into glass and muddle together until strawberries are considerably crushed. Add mixture to cocktail shaker. Toss in tequila.

Shake until well mixed. Serve on the rocks with a sugar rim.
