Lavender-Strawberry Tequila Cooler

This tequila cooler is my new favourite Summer refresher. Ontario Strawberries are showing up everywhere in all their sweet and tart glory and it felt like a waste not to use a couple of them for a delicious cocktail. Mixed with the savoury and fresh flavours of basil, lavender and lemon, this drink feels like a party in your mouth. We used a lavender syrup (recipe in the link below) for this recipe but if you don`t want to make a lavender one, simple syrup will be just fine, just add a couple more leaves of lavender to it.
