- 2 ounces fresh lime juice (~ 2 limes)
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
- 8 fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
- 4 ounces reposado tequila (or other premium tequila)
- For garnish: fresh basil leaves and lime slices
- Freshly squeeze lime juice.
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle lime juice, agave nectar and torn basil leaves.
- Fill shaker half way with ice.
- Add tequila and shake.
- Strain into old fashioned glasses filled three quarters of the way with ice.
- Serve with a few basil leaves and lime slices.
* Before squeezing the limes, heat them in a microwave for about 30 seconds and then rub them back and forth on the counter top. This easy two-step process results in more juice per piece of fruit.
