Ingredients

Margaritas

  • 4 oz fresh strawberries diced (about 4-5 large berries)
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 3/4 oz lime juice about 1.5 Tbsp
  • 2 oz silver tequila about 4 Tbsp or 1/4 cup
  • 1/2 oz triple sec about 0.5 Tbsp

Garnishes

  • additional granulated sugar for the rim
  • lime wedges
  • fresh strawberries

Instructions

Rim glass (optional but recommended)

  • Add the additional sugar to a shallow plate or bowl.
  • Make a small slit in the lime wedge and place it over the rim of a serving glass. Run the lime wedge around the rim, then dip the rim into the sugar.

Blend berries

  • To another glass or jar, add diced strawberries, granulated sugar (2 tsp per glass), and lime juice.
  • Use an immersion or hand blender, pulse until mixture is relatively smooth.
  • ** If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a small food processor, traditional blender, or muddle the mixture using a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon. **
  • If desired, you can strain the strawberry mixture through a mesh sieve to remove most of the strawberry seeds.

Make the margarita

  • To the rimmed glass, add the strawberry mixture, pour in tequila and triple sec, add ice, and stir to combine.

Garnish and serve

  • Serve cold, with a lime wedge and strawberry on the side of the glass.

Notes

  1. This recipe makes 1 (roughly 5 oz) cocktail.
  2. Please feel free to adjust the amount of tequila if you prefer a stronger or weaker drink.

Large Batch Instructions:

  • You can make a large batch with any multiple of the recipe, you just need to multiply all the ingredient amounts by the same number, and you'll want to make sure you have a large enough pitcher to hold everything.
  • In a large bowl or jar, add diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lime juice. 
  • Use an immersion blender to blend until mostly smooth.
  • Strain mixture in a mesh sieve placed over a large pitcher (to remove most of the seeds).
  • To the pitcher, add tequila and triple sec.
  • Stir to combine, then cover and chill for several hours or overnight.
  • When ready to serve, stir really well, then pour the contents of the pitcher over ice into glasses and garnish as desired.
