Strawberry Margarita

Welcome back, or if it’s your first time here, take a seat, and I’ll fix you a drink.

This June, I’m rolling out a different Margarita each week.

Today, we are going to look at a Strawberry Margarita.

You can find my classic base, Tommy’s margarita here.

Let's start with some ingredients:

For strawberry syrup? (makes 8 oz)

• 3 cup sliced strawberries, (about 15 strawberries)
• 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoon water

For the drink:

• 2 oz? Tequila
• 1/2 oz TripleSec
• 1 oz? Lime Juice
• 1.5 oz strawberry syrup (from our recipe right there ^)

What Glass should I use,…

• Rocks
• Margarita

What hardware do I need?

• Shaker
• Saucepan
• Strainer
• Sieve

Directions - Let's do this; let's make a drink!

Make your strawberry syrup:

Add the strawberries, sugar, and water to a saucepan. Bring to the boil, stirring gently. Simmer for about 15 minutes. There is no need to mash or pulp the fruit; be gentle.

Strain the syrup through a Sieve, and do not press down on the leftover strawberries; doing so will make the syrup cloudy.

Add the syrup, tequila, triple sec, and lime to your shaker.

Fill your glass with crushed ice.

Or if you are using a rocks glass, you could use one big large cube.

Add ice to your shaker.

Shake

Strain

Enjoy

Tips

For a thick and refreshing strawberry margarita, throw frozen strawberries in a blender with all the ingredients instead of shaking.
