Throwing a spring get together can be a lot of work. Knowing a few shortcuts can help make things a little easier. When it comes to cocktails, pitcher drinks are a fast and simple solution. Making pitcher drinks the night before also allows some of the flavours to infuse together. It’s important to keep your guests happy, and it allows you to sit back and relax at your own gathering. If you’re hosting a party this spring, give these delicious strawberry basil margaritas a whirl!
- 2 cups gold tequila
- 1 can frozen margarita mix
- 10 large hulled and sliced strawberries
- 8 basil leaves
In a large pitcher, add a can margarita mix, two cups of cold water, and tequila. Stir until the margarita mix is dissolved. Smack each basil leaf in your hands and add to the pitcher, then add all the strawberries. Stir. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator overnight. When ready to serve, stir, pour into glasses, and garnish with a fresh strawberry.
