Notes
Pitcher tips:
To make this in a pitcher, increase the volume in the recipe card to however many drinks you'd like to make.
Add the strawberries, basil, and lime juice to a large pitcher and muddle them with a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon. Add in the rest of the ingredients (apart from the ice) and stir. Fill the glasses with ice and pour in the drink and serve!
To make the pitcher ahead:
You can make this drink in a pitcher up to 12 hours in advance and keep it tightly covered in the refrigerator. Don't add any ice to the pitcher as it will melt and water down the drink too quickly. When you are ready to serve, rim the glasses with salt, if desired, and pour over lots of ice.
