This Strawberry Basil Margarita was inspired by the need for something fun and refreshing this winter. We have had so much rain lately that I just needed a reminder that warmer days were coming. We have been packing for our big move and I just needed a little libation as a reward. Made with fresh strawberries, basil and tequila, this is one refreshing cocktail.

The muddler can be used in glasses or in the shaker. If you do not have one and like fruity drinks, I would suggest this one. They are really nice to have on hand and work better than a spoon. Luckily, I had not packed my muddler yet although I did pack my margarita glasses. Luckily I had these tall highball tumbler glasses, still remaining in my cupboard.

 

The best muddler for making drinks

Margaritas are one of my favorite drinks and I prefer the flavored ones. This flavor combination is a new favorite. What are you celebrating this week?

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
