Strawberry infused tequila
Strawberry infused tequila is a straightforward preparation that combines hulled, sliced strawberries with tequila in a sealed glass jar, allowing the fruit to infuse the spirit over several days. The infusion draws sweet and fruity notes from the strawberries into the tequila, creating a flavored liquor suitable for sipping, shots, or cocktails. The method is simple, requiring only patience and a tight container to allow the flavors to meld.
