Easiest ever? Absolutely! With just four ingredients, these Strawberry Basil Margaritas take just minutes to create. A pitcher and a wooden spoon are the only items necessary to have these delicious drinks at the ready.
Labor Day Weekend?! How can it be? I feel like Memorial Day was just a few weeks ago and here we are bidding adieu to Summer and the cooler days ahead. Let’s make the most of these last few days of August shall we? Grab a pitcher and a wooden spoon because that’s all you’ll need to make these Easiest Ever Strawberry Basil Margaritas.
The idea for these margaritas came about as my sister-in-law is moving into her new house this weekend. As I’m unable to help – Hello, three small children are NOT conducive to moving! – I figured the least I could do is make a large pitcher of drinks for her to enjoy and share with friends who are helping schlep her belongings from point A to point B.
What says thank you for your help in 90 degree temps like a frosty glass filled with a refreshing beverage?
The best part is that I had a pitcher made and chilling in the fridge in less than 10 minutes. And it only took that long as I added fresh basil and strawberries to the finished product to make it even prettier. Not necessary, but so worth it!
The reason why it takes only minutes to stir together is that I used a jar of Robert Rothschild Farm’s Strawberry Lime Basil Fruit Spread as the main flavor component. Melted to a liquid consistency, it becomes a simple syrup of sorts. Then you’re simply adding limeade concentrate, water and tequila for a drink that’s sure to please!
