Spicy Strawberry Margarita
Nothing says “Off Duty” better than a margarita. It’s the quintessential drink for summer vacations and Friday afternoons. This variation brings strawberries, basil, and jalapenos together in a refreshing drink you can enjoy all summer long. Best of all, you can control the kick by the amount of jalapenos used. If you like pulp in your drink, use the strainer in the shaker top, but you can also strain it through a fine sieve to remove the pulp. If you’re having friends over, make this in big batches. You’ll be serving a lot of them!
