Scale
- 3 strawberries, hulled
- 3 basil leaves
- 3/4 ounce lime juice
- 3/4 ounce simple syrup
- 1 1/2 ounce tequila
- 1/2 ounce Cointreau
- Ice
- Basil leaf, lime wheel, strawberry – garnish
Instructions
- Muddle the strawberries and basil: In a shaker, muddle the strawberries, basil, simple syrup, and lime juice.
- Add the alcohol. Mix in your tequila and Cointreau and add some ice to fill the shaker. Shake until well-chilled.
- Garnish: Run a lime wedge around the outer rim of your glass and dip the rim in salt and/or a mix of sugar. Extra step, but to me helps make the margarita.
- Strain: Using a strainer, pour the margarita into your glass. Fill the glass with some ice if you prefer or leave as is.
- Extras: Make a pretty garnish using a lime wheel, basil leaf and strawberry. Or keep it simple and add a lime wedge to the edge of the glass.
