– ½ cup of Blanco tequila
– 1½ oz of Cointreau
– 1 oz of freshly squeezed lime juice
– 1 tbs of raw honey
– 2-3 basil sprigs

DIRECTIONS
Pour salt onto a flat plate. Rub a lime wedge along
the rim of two cocktail glasses and dip into the salt

Place strawberries, tequila, Cointreau, lime juice

finely chopped basil in the bottom of a cocktail
shaker to release its flavor. Pour mixture into
