Friday FUN: Strawberry Basil Margaritas

When the Wisconsin Test Kitchen hit up the farmers market last week, we noticed basil and strawberries are finally in season- and in a big way! Most of the vendors were selling pints and quarts of those tasty little red berries. We received a quart of them in our CSA box, as well as a bunch of basil, and a recipe for strawberry basil margaritas. After putting our own Cool Dads spin on the beverages, we determined they're now the perfect beverage for your next cook out!

Cool Dads Strawberry Basil Margaritas

1 can frozen limeade concentrate
2-2.5 cups tequila (depending how strong you like your drinks)
10 strawberries, hulled
8 basil leaves


Let the limeade concentrate thaw, and then pour into a pitcher with the tequila, and 2 cans of cold water. 

Meanwhile, put the strawberries and basil leaves into a food processor and pulse until pureed. 

Add strawberry basil puree into the pitcher and stir well to combine. 

Let margarita mixture sit in the fridge for an hour to chill and let flavors meld. 

Serve in a tall glass with ice. 

We hope you enjoy this cool, refreshing cocktail as much as we did!

Stay Cool,
The Cool Dads Crew
