Strawberry Basil Easter Margarita | Easter Tequila Drink
Ingredients
- 2 whole Strawberries - ripe, fresh, tops removed, quartered
- 5 whole Fresh Basil Leaves - fresh herb
- 2 oz Silver Tequila
- ½ oz Fresh Lime Juice
- ½ oz Agave Nectar
- 1 to 2 oz Sparkling Water - for topping off, light splash
Instructions
- Start by dropping 2 whole strawberries that have been quartered into the bottom of your cocktail shaker. Next, tear and toss in 4 to 5 fresh basil leaves.
- Using a muddler, crush the strawberries and basil leaves together until the juices are released and the aroma from the basil comes through.
- Next, fill the shaker about halfway with ice and drizzle in the agave nectar, fresh lime juice, and silver tequila.
- Cover and shake the strawberries, basil, agave nectar, lime, and tequila together until chilled and combined.
- Swipe a rocks glass with a wedge of lime and dip into colorful sanding sugars. Fill the rocks glass with a scoop of fresh ice, and using a cocktail strainer, strain the cocktail into the rocks glass (leaving the crushed berries, leaves, and old ice behind).
- Finish by topping off the cocktail with a splash of sparkling water (or dry prosecco sparkling wine, if desired).
- Top the strawberry basil Easter margarita cocktail with fresh strawberry slices, lime wheels, and fresh basil leaves as desired. Serve ice cold.
