Ingredients
- 3 strawberries hulled
- 8 fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1.5 ounces tequila (silver or reposado)
- 1 ounce agave nectar
- Lemon slice and mint for garnish
Instructions
- Place the strawberries and mint into a cocktail shaker. Using a muddler (or the back of a wooden spoon), thoroughly mash the two ingredients, allowing the strawberry juices to release.
- Then add in the lemon juice, tequila, and agave nectar. Seal the lid onto the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
- Place sugar on a small plate. Line the rim of a double old-fashioned glass (or similar) with a lemon wedge and then dip into the sugar to coat the rim of the glass.
- Fill the glass halfway with crushed ice. Then pour the strawberry mixture over it. Top with additional ice. Garnish with a lemon slice and fresh mint. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Shake it like you mean it. If you're someone who has ever wondered why professional bartenders seem to make such a show out of shaking their drinks, you're not alone. That said, it's for more than just show! Shaking a cocktail helps to aerate the drink with small shards of ice, which serves to both chill it and give it a lovely mouthfeel.
- Feel free to use white rum, vodka, whisky, or gin in place of the tequila.
