Keeping It Fresh with a Strawberry Basil Chelada!

The idea of placing a lime or orange slice in your beer is pretty common (and delicious).

Lately, intricate beer cocktails have become more and more popular. With that comes new, bold flavor combinations. These Strawberry Basil Cheladas go above and beyond.

I’ve always felt like strawberry and basil make the perfect pair. Once you combine them with a little tequila and a whole lot of beer, it’s a match made in heaven.

A simple 4-Ingredient Beer Cocktail!

To make this cocktail, you’ll start by pouring the tequila into the bottom of the glass. Add your strawberries and basil to the liquor. You want to have a little liquid at the bottom as you muddle. This will make it easier to mash the fruit. After that you’ll fill the glass with ice and add your beer (I used Corona). Finally, garnish with a strawberry and a lime wheel. That’s it!

I love using fresh fruit in cocktails, as it instantly elevates your drink. Blending it into a Daiquiri or Margarita is divine, but one of my favorite things to do with fresh fruit is muddle!

Do you muddle?

Usually when you think of muddling, you think of an Old Fashioned, Mojito, or even a quick Sangria. One of the main keys to this beer cocktail is definitely the muddling. As you muddle, you release the flavors and essence of the fruit allowing the maximum flavors to meld with the beer and tequila. If you don’t have an actual muddler, have no fear. A wooden spoon (like I’ve used in the pictures) can work just as well!
