Cocktail Friday – Strawberry Basil Margarita

June 26, 2009 By: larissacomment

Prepping for my assistant's bridal shower tomorrow and was hunting around for a colourful, tasty cocktail and lo and behold, I found the Strawberry Basil Margarita over at The Blue Jean Gourmet. Looks delish and with an interesting flavor combo. Check back next week for photos from Caren's shower!
