I love strawberries. I love margaritas. I hate strawberry margaritas. The problem is you dine at a restaurant, order a strawberry margarita and it’s a sugary, frozen, 800 calorie hot mess. So when life hands you lemons (or rather strawberries) you make lemonade…spiked of course. So my Loves, I give you my take on the Strawberry Margarita. A Margarita to shame all other Margaritas! Cin Cin! Truly, MKR
*Photography, Rustic White
- 1 1/2 oz of silver tequila (I prefer Herradura or Patron...you could also use vodka if you're not a tequila fan)
- 1 pint of fresh strawberries
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1-2 splashes of simple syrup (dependent on how in season and sweet your strawberries are)
- Ice
- Muddler
- Cocktail shaker
- Sieve
- Rinse, hull and cut strawberries in half.
- Add ice to martini glasses and set aside to chill.
- Place sieve on top of a bowl or large measuring cup. Add about a handful of strawberries to the sieve and begin to muddle. You CANNOT do this in a blender because the strawberries will become foamy. Continue muddling strawberries and extracting the juice until you have about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of strawberry juice.
- Add ice, strawberry juice, lime juice, and simple syrup to the cocktail shaker. Shake, shake, shake.
- Dump ice out of martini glasses, pour the strawberry margarita micture in, garnish with a strawberry and enjoy!
- *You can also sugar or salt the rim if preferred.
