Adrian Gonzalez Parrondo, director of bars at Six Senses, London W2, has provided a recipe for a strawberry and basil margarita. This drink is described as a playful twist on the classic cocktail, offering a vibrant and refreshing taste with a citrus kick and a subtle herbal note.
The recipe includes ingredients such as fresh strawberries, agave syrup, tequila, lime juice, and basil leaves. It also notes that the cocktail can be made with non-alcoholic tequila.
To prepare the drink, a strawberry syrup is first made by blending chopped strawberries with agave syrup, which can then be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks. The cocktail itself is built by shaking all ingredients with ice and straining into a rocks glass.
