Strawberry Margarita Recipe
Description
This recipe starts with making a strawberry simple syrup by simmering chopped strawberries, sugar, and water, then straining and skimming off foam. The syrup provides fresh fruit flavor sweetened naturally. The cocktail glass is rimmed with salt to offset the syrup's sweetness and lime juice's acidity.
Combining white tequila, fresh lime juice, and the strawberry syrup over ice results in a cool, vibrant drink with a balance between tartness and sweetness. Stirring rather than shaking keeps the texture smooth and less frothy, letting the syrup's flavor shine.
This strawberry margarita suits warm weather or festive occasions and can be served with fresh strawberry and lime slices for garnish. The simplicity of syrup preparation allows for adjustments in sweetness and fruit intensity.
Ingredients
- salt to rim the glass
- 2 ounces white tequila

Instructions
- Begin by making the strawberry simple syrup. Add the strawberries, sugar, and water to a small pot over medium-high heat. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool. Strain it through a fine-mesh sieve then skim off any foam from the top of the syrup.
- Wet the rim of a glass with a slice of lime and then dip it into salt. Fill the glass with ice.
- Put a handful of ice into a cocktail shaker or jar then add the tequila, lime juice, and strawberry simple syrup.
- Stir until it's cold and then strain it into your prepared glass. Garnish with strawberries and a lime slice.
