Who says you can’t have spring and summer all in one glass? Two warm-weather booze titans come together in this fun, fizzy punch of sparkling rosé and strawberry- and basil-infused tequila. Pro tip: Opt for a bubbly on the drier side to keep the flavors from leaning too sweet.

• 300 ml Strawberry-basil-infused Blanco tequila*
• 150 ml Fresh lime juice
• 120 ml Agave syrup
• 1 bottle Sparkling rosé (750 ml)
• Garnish: Sliced strawberries

2. Add cubed ice, and stir with a ladle to mix.
3. Top with the sparkling rosé.
4. Garnish with 1 cup sliced strawberries and lime wheels from 2 limes.
5. Rim punch glasses with rose salt before serving (optional).
6. *Strawberry-basil-infused blanco tequila: In a glass jar, combine 1/2 cup sliced strawberries and 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves with 1 750 mL bottle blanco tequila. Seal jar tightly and let sit, unrefrigerated, for 3-5 days. Shake daily. Strain out solids, and rebottle the infused tequila.
