Strawberry Basil Margarita

It’s high time we had a cocktail as a treat right?! So, this is not a frozen blended margarita, but we are blending the bits because the pulp of the berries makes the margarita thick and frothy and I don’t mind some flecks of herbs in my drink. If you like a smoother, thinner texture, strain the mixture after blending.

This works great as a batch recipe if you are having people over, because you pour it over ice so nothing gets diluted while you wait. These are on the strong side, so add a splash of soda water if you want to calm it down.

We don’t generally put Cointreau in our margaritas, but if you’re into that, add a splash!
