Strawberry Basil Margarita Recipe

Y’all know I adore a great cocktail so when Kelly Ripa had a to-die for Strawberry Basil Margarita recipe, well, this gal had to channel her inner bartender and give it a whirl.  Even better – I get to share it with y’all!  One key – the strawberry liquor – it gives it the perfect flourish!  It was well worth me channeling my “Aly Capone” and heading across the bridge to Kelly’s old stomping grounds of South Jersey to track it down.

On to the recipe:
