Ingredients
4-5 strawberries, hulled and sliced
5 fresh basil leaves
2 oz. tequila
1 oz. Contreau (or another orange liqueur)
1½ oz. lime juice (freshly squeezed)
2 tsp honey or agave
sea salt (if desired)
ice cubes
Instructions
Add the strawberries and basil to the bottom of a cocktail shaker (or glass that can be sealed and shaken). Gently muddle to release the flavors. You will smell the basil when it is muddled.
Add the remaining ingredients and several ice cubes into the shaker and shake well for about 15 seconds.
If salting the rim of your serving glass, run the inside of a lime around the rim to wet. Dip the glass into salt to cover. Add several fresh ice cubes to the glass and pour the margarita. Garnish with fresh berries, lime and basil. Enjoy immediately.
