Peach-Basil Margarita is a refreshing and unique twist on the classic margarita. The sweet peaches and fragrant basil make this cocktail perfect for summer.

Start by making a peach-basil simple syrup. Combine sugar, water, sliced peaches, and fresh basil leaves in a small saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves and the peaches soften. Let it cool, then strain to remove the solids.

In a cocktail shaker, muddle a few fresh basil leaves to release their aroma. Add ice, the peach-basil syrup, tequila, fresh lime juice, and a splash of triple sec. Shake well until chilled.

Prepare your glass by running a lime wedge around the rim and dipping it in salt or sugar, depending on your preference. Fill the glass with ice.

Strain the margarita mixture into the prepared glass. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf and a slice of peach for a pretty presentation.

Serve the Peach-Basil Margarita immediately. This drink is perfect for a warm evening, barbecue, or any summer gathering. Enjoy the delightful blend of sweet, tart, and herbal flavors. Cheers!
