Strawberry Basil Margarita

This is for one drink – so adjust accordingly!!

Paige and Craig ordered Strawberry Margarita’s on their ‘golf cart date’ a few weeks ago on Southern Charm

Here’s my version !! ( I think theirs was ‘spicy’ though)

Does not need to be followed exactly. The fresh basil and balsamic vinegar can be left out!

Muddle or process in food processor, 5 or 6 fresh strawberries, and few large basil leaves

½ oz fresh lime juice (half of lime)

2 oz ‘Simply’ Limeade drink

½ tsp balsamic vinegar

1 oz strawberry simple syrup (boil equal amount water and sugar, and few strawberries. Bring just to boil, and chill.)

2 oz tequila (or more !!!)

2 -3 oz club soda or sparkling water

Ice

Sugar or salt or a combo of both (if you’re feeling a little crazY!!)

Put all with exception of club soda, in cocktail shaker with ice & shake!!

Sugar the rim of your glass!! (rub with lime wedge and rub rim in sugar/salt)

Pour in glass with ice and top with club soda or carbonated water !!

So refreshing and just like Craige!! (Paige and Craig)

If you want to do the spicy version, just add a few slices of jalapeno pepper to the strawberries before you muddle or process!!
