- About 10 strawberries
- 8 basil leaves
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups tequila (gold or silver)
Directions:
- Empty the limeade concentrate into a pitcher.
- Add 2 1/2 cans of water and 1 1/2 (18 ounces, or 2 1/4 cups) cans of tequila
- Hull the strawberries, slice lengthwise and add to the pitcher.
- Crumple the basil a little in your hands (this will help the basil flavor release into the drink) and add it to the pitcher, too.
