Basil Breeze Margarita

Taking inspiration from a savory basil coconut curry, the Basil Breeze Margarita is a delightful mix of sweet and piquant flavors with a burst of bright lime. Whether you choose sweet basil for its notes of anise, mint, and pepper, or opt for Thai basil with its spicy and licorice flavors, this cocktail offers a refreshing and unique experience. The Don Julio Reposado Tequila provides depth with its earthy, vegetal aspects, while its caramel and agave notes add a complementary sweetness.
