Story and flavor
The Lemon Basil Margarita is a bright, herbaceous reimagining of the Mexican classic. Fresh basil leaves are muddled to release their aromatic oils, then shaken with tequila, lemon and lime juices, and a touch of agave nectar. Served over ice in a salt-rimmed glass and garnished with basil and lemon, it’s a crisp, garden-fresh take that’s equally refreshing and sophisticated.
