A NEFT Vodka Barrel and a glass of Strawberry Basil Margarita on a bar counter.

Strawberry Basil Margarita

A closeup of a Sweet, Summer Strawberry Basil Margarita drink against a dark background.

We may be a little biased, but we think this is the best strawberry margarita ever! One of our mixologist’s favorite cocktails, the Strawberry Basil Margarita is fruit-forward, but not too sweet. Shake up this twist on a classic with NEFT Vodka, lime, strawberry, and basil simple syrup. The sweetness of the strawberry pairs perfectly with the earthy, herby basil to create the ultimate refreshing summer drink.
