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
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.
- This recipe makes 1 (roughly 5 oz) cocktail.
- 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.
