Pineapple Basil Margaritas

July 31, 2011 2 comments Article Drinks, Fruit, Recipes
Jump to Recipe

For my Foodbuzz 24×24 party, we also made pineapple basil margaritas with fresh basil from our garden. These margaritas are sweeter than your average and don’t have that sour lime taste that sometimes comes with others. The basil adds a nice earthy kick to balance the sweetness. I can safely say that these margaritas are the best that I have ever had. I highly recommend you try both this and the orange mint hibiscus mojito recipes and wow your company with them!

Pineapple Basil Margaritas

These margaritas are sweeter than your average lime-forward marg, but the basil adds a nice earthy kick to balance the sweetness. A must try recipe!
