Strawberry Margarita
Strawberry Margaritas provide the ultimate summer refreshment on balmy evenings.
| Ingredients | ||
|---|---|---|
| 500 | g | fresh strawberries |
| 240 | ml | Tequila made from 100% agave (silver or reposado) |
| 150 | ml | fresh lime juice (from 5-6 limes) |
| 2-3 | tablespoon(s) | agave syrup, sugar cane syrup or honey |
| 60 | ml | Cointreau |
| coarse sea salt or sea salt flakes | ||
- Rub a lime wedge along the rims of four Margarita glasses (or tumblers) and turn them upside down in a bowl of coarse sea salt or sea salt flakes.
- Place the cleaned and hulled strawberries with the liquid ingredients in an electric blender and blend until smooth. Sweeten as needed.
- Leave to sit for about three minutes and skim off the foam that forms during blending with a small sieve. Meanwhile, fill the salt-rimmed glasses half full with ice cubes.
- Divide the Strawberry Margarita Mix between the four glasses, garnish with a slice of lime and strawberry and serve immediately.
Salud!
Tip:
Silver or reposado Tequila is a matter of taste. If possible, make sure to use a high-quality tequila made from 100% agave.
For an authentic taste, use freshly squeezed lime juice instead of bottled juice. You can also omit the sweetener, as ripe strawberries contain enough natural sweetness.
For a frozen version, use frozen strawberries that have been briefly thawed instead of fresh ones or add a handful of ice before blending.
