Strawberry-Basil daquiris

Strawberry-Basil Daquiri

It's that time of year again!  We have planted several different plants and herbs... we have tomatoes, green beans, peppers and garlic growing, as well as basil, mint, oregano, parsley, thyme, rosemary and cilantro. 
Our basil plant is really growing very well and we have had a plethora of basil.  Of course, the first thing I think of when I have a lot of basil, is to make a pesto.  But honestly, there's only so much pesto you can eat and not only that, but pine nuts are crazy expensive!!  So I began a search for new and fun ways to use basil.
My search ended with strawberry-basil daquiris!  Not only is it a great and unique way to use basil, but it also utilizes the last batch strawberries for the season.  Enjoy!!
