Ingredients

4 oz silver tequila

2 oz triple sec

3 oz fresh lime juice

2 oz simple syrup

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

6 leaves fresh basil

as needed ice cubes

for rimming salt or sugar

Directions

Start by preparing the glasses. Use the lime wedge to moisten the rims of two margarita glasses, then dip them into salt or sugar for a coated rim.

In a blender, combine the fresh strawberries, fresh basil leaves, silver tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Blend until smooth and the basil is well incorporated.

Fill the prepared glasses with ice cubes, ensuring they are about halfway filled for a perfect chill.

Pour the blended strawberry basil mixture over the ice in each glass, distributing it evenly between the two servings.

Garnish each glass with a fresh basil leaf and a slice of strawberry on the rim. Serve immediately and enjoy!
