Ingredients

Strawberry Puree

  • 10 ounces frozen strawberries, thawed (amount for 4 margaritas)

For Each Margarita

  • Sea salt, for the glass rim (optional)
  • Handfuls of ice
  • 2 ounces silver tequila
  • 1 ounce orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or triple sec)
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice, plus wedges for the glass and garnish
  • ½ ounce Simple Syrup with basil
  • 2 ounces strawberry puree
  • Fresh strawberries, for garnish
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the strawberry puree: Place the thawed strawberries in a blender and puree until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and any foam, resulting in a silky smooth strawberry mixture.
  2. Prepare the glass: (Optional) Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into sea salt to coat it. Fill the glass with a handful of ice to chill.
  3. Shake the margarita: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 2 ounces silver tequila, 1 ounce orange liqueur, 1 ounce fresh lime juice, ½ ounce basil-infused simple syrup, and 2 ounces of the prepared strawberry puree. Shake vigorously to mix and chill the ingredients.
  4. Serve: Strain the margarita mixture into the prepared glass over the ice. Garnish with a lime wedge, fresh strawberries, and basil leaves for an appealing presentation.

Notes

  • Thaw the frozen strawberries completely before making the puree for the best texture and flavor.
  • If you prefer your margarita less sweet, adjust the amount of simple syrup accordingly.
  • Use good quality silver tequila for a smoother taste.
  • The salt rim is optional but enhances the flavor contrast of the drink.
  • Fresh basil simple syrup can be made by simmering equal parts sugar and water with fresh basil leaves, then cooling and straining.
