If you're a fan of margaritas and looking for a new and refreshing twist, you need to try the Baton Strawberry Basil Margarita. This delicious cocktail combines the sweetness of muddled strawberries, the herbal notes of fresh basil, and the tartness of lime juice, all balanced by the subtle complexity of our award-winning Baton Brandy. To sweeten the deal, we add a touch of honey simple syrup to bring it all together.
To start, we use fresh strawberries that have been washed, hulled, and sliced. We then muddle the strawberries with fresh basil leaves, which releases their juices and oils, adding an extra layer of flavor. We add the muddled strawberry and basil mixture to a shaker, along with a generous serving of our Baton Brandy, fresh lime juice, and the honey simple syrup.
The Baton Brandy is the star of this cocktail, providing a smooth and complex base with notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak. Our brandy is made from the finest grapes and aged to perfection in ex-wine barrels, giving it a distinct character that sets it apart from other spirits.
The result is a perfectly balanced cocktail with a beautiful pink color, a sweet and sour taste, and a refreshing finish. The Baton Strawberry Basil Margarita is perfect for any occasion, whether you're sipping it on a hot summer day or enjoying it as a pre-dinner drink with friends.
