For the 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, we like Cointreau
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice, plus wedges for the glass and for garnish
- ½ ounce Simple Syrup with basil
- 2 ounces strawberry puree
- Fresh strawberries and fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Make the strawberry puree: Puree the strawberries in a blender. Strain to remove the seeds and any foam.
Make the margarita: Optional step: Salt the rim of a glass by rubbing a lime wedge around the edge and dipping the glass into a small plate of salt. Fill the glass with ice.
Place the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, simple syrup, and 2 ounces of the strawberry puree in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into the glass with the salted rim. Garnish with a lime wedge, fresh strawberries, and basil.
