There’s no wrong season to drink a Margarita. This version, made with fresh basil and ample lemon, tastes like summer in a glass.
Andrea Correale, an NYC-based entertaining expert whose client list includes Liam Neeson and Mariah Carey, created this sunny cocktail. It uses fresh lemons and triple sec instead of lime juice or (shudder) sour mix.

½ ounce simple syrup
3 basil leaves, for garnish
½ sugar and ½ salt mixture, for rim
Lemon rind, for garnish
Directions
