It is strawberry season and as we approach Cinco de Mayo it is also Margarita season. Today’s clever cocktail is a refreshing take on the Margarita using strawberries and basil. In this version we also switch up the traditional salt rimmed glass for a sugar rim to compliment the strawberry flavors. So let’s all celebrate spring, break out the blender and whip up a batch of Strawberry Basil Margaritas today. Cheers!
