Ingredients

For the Strawberry Puree (enough for 2 margaritas)
  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
For the Margarita
  • 2 ounces blanco tequila
  • 3 ounces Strawberry Puree
  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 ounce orange liqueur

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For the strawberry puree: Using an immersion blender or high speed blender, blend strawberries, water, and sugar together until completely smooth.
  2. For the margarita: Fill a rocks glass with ice.
  3. Add tequila, strawberry puree, lime juice, and orange liqueur to a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake 45 seconds to combine, plus perfectly chill and dilute.
  4. Strain margarita into prepared glass and garnish with a fresh strawberry and sprig of mint. For additional lime tartness, squeeze a lime wedge over the top and plop the wedge into the glass. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • To remove the strawberry seeds from the fresh puree (optional): Set a fine mesh strainer over a medium sized bowl. Pour the puree into the strainer and stir it with a spoon until all of the liquid has passed through the strainer and only the seeds remain. Discard the seeds. Set aside until ready to use. If your strainer isn't fine enough to catch the seeds, line the strainer with cheesecloth first.
  • To salt the glass rim (optional): Fill a small bowl with water and another small bowl with coarse salt. Dip the rim of your glass into the water and then into the salt. Or run the cut edge of a lime wedge around the rim and dip the wet rim into a bowl of course salt.
