The margarita is a summertime favorite, loved by all, this cocktail is perfect for a summer gathering. This spicy strawberry basil margarita recipe is an exciting take on the classic margarita. With basil simple syrup and strawberries in the mix, it creates a dreamily sweet margarita, with Casamigos tequila as our preferred base. We love to add just a touch of jalapeño slices to the top to add just a touch of spiciness and round the whole flavor profile out.
