Notes
Expert Tip:
Grate some fresh ginger in the bottom of the shaker and muddle along with the basil for extra ginger flavor. Be sure to strain out.
If you like it a little spicier garnish with a couple of jalapeno slices.
Crushed ice keeps this tequila cocktail icy cold - but regular ice cubes are fine.
Fresh basil leaves are pretty but you can garnish with lime, a peach slice, jalapeno or anything you like.
Ginger beer and tequila taste great without the other ingredients in a pinch.
Ginger ale can stand in for the ginger beer.
