Strawberry Basil Margarita π
My skinny margarita is where this whole Boozy Bodybuilder idea started so I am not sure if it can be beat but if you are tired of the usual marg this one is a fun twist to switch it up a bit. Obviously I am a fan of fruit in my dranks in the summertime & this one fits in nicely. The basil freshens up the sweetness of the drink for a deliciously balanced cocktail π
So hereβs whatcha need: (This recipe makes 2 cocktails)
π Strawberries- ~10-12 with the tops cut off
π Tequila- 1/2 cup: I used Reposado but Blanco would be good too
π Grand Mariner- 2oz.
π Lime- juice of 1 lime
π Truvia- 10g
π Basil- 4-5 fresh leaves
π Salt- this is for the rim & itβs optional
π Blender
π Ice
Directions: Run the lime around the rim of your 2 glasses & dip the rims into the salt to salt the rim. Then fill the glasses with ice. Set the glasses aside. Put strawberries, tequila, grand mariner, lime juice, Truvia, basil and a couple of handfuls of ice in the blender. Blend thoroughly for a good minute or 2. Pour the contents of the blender into each glass & enjoy!!! π₯
