Ingredients

  • 1.50 oz tequila reposado
  • 0.75 oz triple sec (such as Cointreau)
  • 1.50 oz sugar syrup
  • 1 oz lime juice (from about 2 limes)
  • 8 basil leaves
  • 1 cup crushed ice

Instructions

  1. Combine the tequila, triple sec, sugar syrup, and lime juice in a freezeproof container and place it in the freezer overnight (it won't freeze solid due to the alcohol content).
  2. When serving, place the crushed ice in a blender. Add the chilled tequila mixture and basil leaves, then blend until smooth, green, and very thick. Adjust the consistency by adding more ice if needed.
  3. Pour into a martini glass, garnish with a basil sprig, and serve immediately.
