I thought this recipe was fantastic! The basil added really great flavor, and rounded out the alcohol / sweet flavors so nicely. It wasn't too sweet, too alcoholic, it was perfect.

I made this recipe, and my husband and I LOVED it. I could not afford Cointreau, so used Triple-Sec instead. Much more economical. There is a new flavor with every sip. I added a 4th basil leaf and loved it even more. The reviewer who said the basil was too strong - I don't understand that. It is perfect as written.

Really good! Added double the basil but other than that, I didn't change a thing. Thank you for this creative recipe!

WOW!!! Very addicting! I made this recipe last night to test out before we have guests this weekend and I was so surprised how good it was. I thought it was an unusual combination of ingredients but wow do they ever go together. I followed the recipe exactly except I used Grand Marnier for the orange-flavored liqueur. Measured everything exactly and I had fresh sweet basil out on the deck growing. I even counted the ice cubes (8) I figured I would follow the recipe to a tea and then tweek it after. No need to tweek!! Perfect as is. I agree with another reveiwer, it tastes like an expensive mixed drink from a fine restaurant. I put the blender on liquify and it blended everything perfectly. Yummy!!! I can't wait to server this on Sat. night. Thank you for recipe!!! I might have to do another test run tonight...:D

DH came home with an entire flat of strawberries, & I couldn't think of a better way to help use them up! Made the first batch as written & found it a tad bit weak & couldn't really decipher the basil flavor. Second batch I increased the tequila to 1/3 cup, used 4 large basil leaves & 18 ice cubes to be exact! This was much better & filled 2 glasses perfectly. The basil isn't overpowering at all. In fact as others have said, it really does just enhance the strawberries but if you know it's in there ;-) it tastes great in the background. Yum.

Wonderful with the basil. I knew already that basil enhances the flavor of strawberries (you truly don't taste the basil). I loved this recipe, made entirely with fresh ingredients - my search for the perfect strawberry margarita is over!
